I thought I'd put a link to this. Has anyone seen anything like this before? You could have made millions!
Just finished watching Fahrenheit 9/11. Yes, I downloaded it. But its okay because Michael Moore said he didn't mind. Seriously. Nothing really new that I hadn't read in his books, but it does a good job of putting things in place, and asks enough questions to really make you wonder about the whole thing, but as is usually the case of books that turn movie, a lot of the good juicy detail was sacrificed. I think I would be a very unhappy camper if I was either in the american military, or was the parent/sibling of someone that was. It just seems like such an absolute waste of money, and lives. Something that I was surprised was really not addressed was the cost of the war. I don't factually know numbers of the top of my head, so I won't throw numbers around...but the war has cost 10s, if not 100s of billions of dollars...when your education system is gone to crap, when your poverty rates are rising, when unemployment is rising, etc etc spending that kind of money on war just seems so completely totally backwards. Anyways, if you haven't read his books, or even if you have, I think its worth taking the time to watch.
I played some frisbee AND some squash today, although yes, I did lose at squash.
I also did some shopping at the Real Canadian Wholesale place near my house. Its crazy insane cheap. Romaine lettuce: 3 heads for $1.50. A pint of blueberries $1.49. Mangoes, 50 cents. 5 garlics for a dollar. Canteloupes, 99 cents. The list goes on! Needless to say, I stocked up on mellons!
