Oh and one other thing on the idea that offering facts to support an opinion or poase a question is somehow wrong.
That is the way it works or atleast that is how I learned to make a persuasive argument in speech and debate class. I will ask my Dad-he is a High School debate coach. If he tells me it is wrong to to use facts to pose a question or to make a persuasive argument I will concede that Moore is an evil doer, or at least takes the wrong approach to invoking thought and seeking answers to challenging questions and to persuading people to to understand his opinion- what ever that maybe.
Of course if this is true that means that every pundit and opinionator on everyside of every issue are basically wrong in their approach and the whole point of asking questions, making opinion, and having persusuasive debate is moot.
What is the point of having an opinion, or even a brain for that matter, if using either to compare other perspectives, analyze facts, and consider challenging questions is a wrong approach.
If this is the case we all may as well submit to the robots. Brave new world, 1984 and farenheit 451 are all based in the premise that, due to fear of reprisal, we wont question what is perceptively wrong, that we won't question authority and that we will accept the staus quo no matter how de-humanizing, un-humanizing, and anti-liberty and anti-justice for all it is.
