You know what I noticed right away was the difference in his deameanor today vs when he was on C-Span a few weeks ago.

He was much more "tenative" today, almost nervous.

He did seem grateful that his book was well received but today he appeared much more the "stand up comedian" than the political spokesperson of a few weeks ago.

Hmmmm....

well Peggy, he did say hes not been well received on national television...so do you think that plays into it?
I was kind of disappointed his segment was TOO short!

Rainbow..remember what you read on Cathys site? A friend offered to send me the book,and I was warned what is in there is a lot worse than the site(very explicit, etc)...so I turned it down. I doubt we could "stomache" the incoming info

Really interesting that you would put it that way, Peggy. I had the same feeling within the book itself ... in some parts (especially where he exposes the Enron corruption and the various oil scams and other abuses of power that are gaining much attention now) he came across as very much the fearless spokesperson for Truth, but in others, he seemed to lapse into ... yeah, more the role of a good stand-up comic doing a good political satire routine, still very interesting and informative but without that fire of commitment and championing the truth.

Well, I suppose we should allow the guy to be human! He's certainly brought some much needed awareness to the table.

Aries, there are indeed some revelations in Cathy's book that will make your stomach turn, and it's not the easiest thing to read for that reason. But as I've mentioned before, her own attitude toward her experiences is so remarkable healthy and free from bitterness that it makes it easier than it would otherwise be ... in my opinion an ideal way to learn about some things that we really NEED to know, that would otherwise be very difficult to look squarely at. I think it's well worth reading.

Love,

Hi Everyone!!!

Hey!!! Guess what I found out... Too late unfortunately... Michael Moore came and spoke at our school yesterday. I read about it in the school newspaper this morning. lol. He spoke about his book, but apparently he also spoke about this controversty that's been going on at our school. You see, the students here voted against a new athletics fee, but the board of regents called an "emergency meeting" of the student government association, who voted again, and they voted FOR the fee. So, a whole bunch of people are protesting it and trying to get the senators who voted for it out of SGA. I guess Michael Moore heard about it from someone, and decided to protest it himself, and so now it's all over the school newspaper. Apparently he said: "Stop George Bush like behavior." lol. Or something along the lines of that... lol. He was referring to the Florida recount. Awww... I wish I had known about it... Then I could have gone.

*hugs* for all!!!
