<p>No I didn’t just go cause I thought Eddie was going to be there- not totally;)</p>
<p>I promised to spread the word to encourage viewing of the film and thank Landmark theatres for showing something that takes a risk. If we don’t, we are limiting our sources of information to easily digestible newsbytes.</p>
<p>Another way to help the antiwar movement - by helping people realize what we could be doing with the money we’re spending on that war.
[The</a> $3 Trillion Shopping Spree](<a href=“3 Trillion -”>3 Trillion -)</p>
<p>" The occupation of Iraq will cost $3 trillion, America’s most expensive conflict since WWII.
Can YOU spend that money better?
Here’s your chance to go on a virtual $3 trillion shopping spree and prove it!</p>
<p>First watch the commercial on the left. Then browse our online store, fill up your cart, click the checkout button, and send virtual gifts to everyone you know.</p>
<p>A private island fortress? Healthcare for all? Anything you can imagine, and if you can’t find it, add it yourself! "</p>
<p>The amount of money- at a time when people are losing their homes, because of having to refinance to pay bills ( some times for medical expenses) boggles my mind.</p>
<p>I had hoped that the film would have placed more emphasis on who are fighting this war. The kids who don’t look like the middle class white folks in the audience. I didn’t get to ask the ?, but I appreciate that Donahue was painting one man’s story- and it was touched on a little…
He was also trying to keep it short- Not sure why- because I think a lot more could have been included, but perhaps theatres were more likely to show it? I really don’t know anything about marketing.</p>
<p>One woman stood up and spoke about her best friend in law school, whose husband who had been injured in Iraq and who had to stop out of school to take care of her husband and to battle the administration.
She since has returned to school and graduated,but has only recently found a job because it took all her time to advocate for her husband.
What about the soldiers whose girlfriends/boyfriends aren’t attorneys?</p>
<p>this War will have implications for generations of people who have YET to be born. Just wait till the next president comes in and gets his/her first briefing.</p>
<p>Only seen the trailers of Phil’s movie but, although many want to dismiss Michael Moore, I think Moore covered most all of this in Fahrenheit 9-11 back in 2004, billions of dollars and thousands of lives ago. </p>
<p>Trouble is people don’t want to listen and the administration has made sure we don’t see what really is going on in Iraq as we did with Vietnam. If more of the public was paying attention, mccain’s candidacy couldn’t possibly be taken seriously but, there are many willing to have him lead us into that 100 year war.</p>
