Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-05 00:00:00 Tonya Hardy The older I get, the more disenchanted I become with Michael Moore. I don't consider myself a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but his kind of activism is indicative of what's wrong with a lot of liberal activism- narcissism. He's so absorbed with his own righteousness -and the fact that so many people in his audience with reinforce his righteousness with blind praise and little analysis- that the causes he supposedly stands for are beside the point. Some might say this is giving too much credit to someone who's essentially a satirist, but his audience sees himself as more than that, and he seems to as well. At any rate, this book seemed like little more than a cash-in after the success of Stupid White Men. It has its funny moments, but again, I can't read a page of Michael Moore without its author somehow reminding me that, hey, you're reading Michael Moore!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-29 00:00:00 Rodney Reynaldo In 2001, your chance as an American of dying in an act of terrorism in US was 1 in 100,000. In 2001, you had a greater chance of dying from the flu or pneumonia (1 in 4,500), from taking your own life (1 in 9,200), being a homicide victim (1 in 14,000), or riding a car (1 in 6,500). But no one freaked out over the possibility of being killed every time you drove in your dangerous car to buy a heart disease inducing doughnut from a coughing teenager. The suicide rate alone means that you were a greater danger to yourself than any terrorist. All these causes of death were far greater than the terrorism, but there were no laws passed, no countries bombed, no emergency expenditures of billions of dollars per month, no non-stop tickers scrolling details across the bottom of CNN to send us in a panic over them. Then why bombing countries and fighting terrorism take precedence over all other issues? Michael Moore has tried to explain this and many other questions on US foreign policy, the integrity of its presidents and related issues wittily in this book. A very fast, entertaining and insightful read.
