However, I tend to take some people as if they were the Arreat Summit. Micheal Moore recently became one of those people. I want to believe everything he says because it would be nice if it were true, but Farenheit 9/11 turned out to be a completely one sided Bush-bashing movie. Now I try my best not to even quote from that movie, because the words were all twisted against Bush. I do firmly agree with Moore in his other movie, Bowling for Columbine, that the media has a tendancy to warp words and display things that will get the most publicity.

As much as I wanted to believe that post, I just know there are too many people out there who would be happy to post some bs story for no reason whatsoever.
