I consider myself a fair-minded, open-minded individual who stands *100%* behind *neither* the Republican nor the Democratic party. I do not believe it is possible to agree completely with any one political candidate or party on every single issue. The best, I think, you can hope for is to agree with a politician on maybe eight out of ten issues. Even then, if you do, and vote for him or her, you're still voting for two things you don't believe in. I was not for Bush in the beginning, but once he became my President, he became my President. And, I support my President regardless of whether I had wanted him to win or not win the office.
I was never doing cartwheels over Bill Clinton. Still, it bothered me greatly when I saw and heard a bloated windbag like Rush Limbaugh making a career out of mercilessly riding Bill and Hillary with such a mad obsession.
I kept asking, "If a man has the answer to every one of the country's problems, like Limbaugh obviously does, why isn't *he* the President?" The answer is quite simple: Those who can't do, criticize. If Limbaugh's life -- or his drug money -- depended on it, he could never make a better President than Bill Clinton was.
Meanwhile, as disturbing as parts of this "Fahrenheit" movie are, they don't come close to matching the sheer terror I feel when I try to imagine what this country, and in fact the entire world, might be like today had Al Gore become the President of the United States in 2000. That terror is matched only by the frightful thought of what the world might be like down the road had John Kerry won that election last month! What a relief that we chose the leader who can't talk over the talker who can't lead!
Michael Moore knows how to make films. He knows all about the structure and construction of a documentary
-- pacing, lighting, editing, the use of music in film, etc, etc. But, he doesn't know the first thing about being the President of the United States. That's why he has never been and never will be the President -- those who can't do, criticize, remember? I will admit that at least, this windbag has a sense of humor.
This film is for you if you have no appreciation whatsoever of what must be the most difficult job in the entire world and even less love and respect for America . . . and if you care only to mock and ridicule its leader. And, of course, if you're the type of person who would throw lighter fluid on a burning house, you will love this film.

Sadly, an astounding number of allegedly grown-up people in this world are walking around under the impression that the Beatles were just an over-rated rock band that had a bunch of hits and made some girls scream.
These people need to be strapped to a chair and forced to watch this outstanding TV special. Maybe if it's force-fed to them, they might obtain a clue as to the part these four incredible men played in so many areas of our present-day life -- everything from music itself, inter-generational attitudes, fashion, language and hairstyles to music videos, live concerts, graphic design, the music industry and even the fall of communism in the Soviet Union!
This special, more than any other one I've seen, touched on so much of all of that. It should be repeated by the network at least once a year . . . if only to remind people of today from where they have come.
