Fahrenheit 911 shattered something in the consciousness of my wife that is similar to an addict hitting bottom and having to face the consequence of his actions and belief system. The transformation of the consciousness of the peoples of the American Union has the potential to be changed at lightening speeds.

In terms of social consciousness and lifestyle behavior my wife stopped watching local news broadcast back in the early 1990s . . . although it is my understanding that she never really watched the "News" because in her words "its all muder and rape." I have never watched local news broadcast . . . as a pattern of behavior . . . or with any regularity . . . in my entire 51 years on earth.

Fahrenheit 911 is very powerful in its images of the most poverty stricken proletarians and the bourgeois leaders of America. Moore combines news clips that documents one endless series of justifications of plunder, greed and outright selfishness . . . that is the face of class exploitation and oppression in America.

The visual presentation of Bush stating to the camera, "I am a war president" will be shocking to most people and only keep intact Bush Jr. core base amongst the American people . . . in my opinion.

Moore need to rush into the studio and gather mountains of footage he did not use and put together Fahrenheit 911 (Part 2 - Temperature Rising) for October 2004. He will not have to do any advertisement for such a project.

In Fahrenheit 911 (Part 2 - Temperature Rising) he need to talk about depleted nuclear shells used by our bourgeoisie and its meaning. Updates on the transfer to power in Iraq would be a big hit. He would probably have to blank out Bush Jr. face to pass the censures but everyone would know who it is.
