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.

I just asked my wife to give me a one liner on her thoughts about Fahrenheit 911.

 

She stated . . . "It was the most profound and sharp emotional pain I have ever experience in my life."

 

I believe she is experiencing a political awakening or the first leg of the formation of a mass social and then class consciousness.  The silence in the theater during the viewing of this movie was itself a sign of being shattered emotionally. It is one thing to privately believe that the rulers are America are greedy self serving criminals of the bourgeois order. It is a different matter to share this private belief as an experience in a public setting where no one can pretend they had not witnessed a crime.

 

Fahrenheit 911 have done what I could not do . . . shatter the collective illusion.
