This is good if you like Michael's brand of "throw another petrol bomb on the barbe" style of film.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iq7zxCXnBw7mBDppX7bdIuOPPVbAD9303QDO0The film, "Slacker Uprising," follows Moore's 62-city tour during the 2004 election to rally young voters. It will be available for three weeks as a free download to North American residents, beginning Sept. 23. An official announcement of the film is planned for Friday
Moore hopes "Slacker Uprising" will help spur young people to vote this November. After more than 20 million 18 to 29-year-olds cast ballots in 2004 (an 11 percent increase from 2000), he's hoping even greater numbers of "slackers" vote this year.
Moore readily acknowledges this a film for Democrats.
I,m sure he will make some interesting observations in his movie but all we are really seeing is the folks reacting to the realisation that their vote wont actually count because they are all forced to vote in a rigged game, where are the real people who want to lead the country or help their fellow ?
Unfortunately long gone and replaced as in most country's by a "professional" class who seek to live aloft the likes of the ordinary citizen, the refusal to vote in fact undermines the legitimacy of those claiming power and that likely a good thing if it helps bring in much needed reform.
