Or even a Democrat "period"..

I have quit shopping Amazon.com. I still use their great system for finding things. Then I buy the product at Barnes and Noble. I think that I was addicted to shopping Amazon and am now spending less $ than I used to :-). ...

Powell's Books, Inc

Powell's may not be the big dog when it comes to books, but its dog-eared volumes keep ... groups and sells books online. President Michael Powell, whose father, Walter, opened City of Books in 1971, owns the company. ...

12. at least watch the trailer. It's powerful.

THIS DIVIDED STATE won Best Documentary at the 2005 Santa Cruz Film Festival

13. Thanks . Ill check it in a bit.

14. Before elections, MM was invited to speak to a college in Utah. Mayhem

ensues as wingnutz frothed at the mouth. The trailer captures it well.

[helderheid]

15. imagine living here!! I live 30 minutes from that campus!

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I saw the previews and it looks really good

Can you buy it at any video store?

[helderheid]

22. not sure about that

[robbedvoter]

18. It must be a challenge just to get outside I imagine.

Still, to me it was encouraging that you - and others like you - are there and dare to be vocal.
It's not something we'd normally be informed.

[thebigidea]

17. seems like a pretty minor event to base a book on

maybe a few pages in an eventual Moore biography, but...

kinda seems like coattail-riding to me, as well.

[helderheid]

19. If you lived in Utah, especially Utah County, Especially Orem, you

wouldn't say that.

Edited to add: It SHOULD be a minor event. Here, it was monumental unfortunately.

[NJCher]

20. that occurred to me, too

But then I got to thinking about how Utah is the quintessential RW state. If you think of it in terms of how far they went ($25,000!?!) to attempt to keep MM out of there, it's pretty amazing.

This incident (and I was unfamiliar with it until I saw the trailer) shows how far they'll go; how terrified they are of a guy like Michael Moore.

For that reason, I think it probably deserves its Moment in the Sun.

I can't wait to see it, myself, and I will unabashedly admit that I think MM is the highest form of life.

21. Oh and, welcome to my world.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. I feel bad for you

:hug:

[helderheid]

24. :) Thanks! But don't - the liberals here are a tight bunch and I am lucky

to have them! www.udpc.org

25. After seeing the trailer, I fear one day there will be another CIVIL WAR.

It may not come tomorrow or next year or even ten years from now, but after looking at how divided people have become, I can't help but think one day things are going to come out bad if things don't change. May God rest the souls of everybody unfortunate enough to be alive the day the first shot is fired.
