Here's one article about the Bradbury/Moore situation.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=38776 I heard it on one of the TV News shows yesterday as well, but I can't remember which one. Lucille "escapee" wrote in message ... First of all, did you see Fahrenheit 451? It has nothing to do with what Moore's movie is about. Okay, if I stretch it, it could be a metaphor in comparison to Moore's film, but where else is it even remotely similar? BTW, I'm interested to read where you saw this information about Bradbury. V On Thu, 24 Jun 2004 15:54:27 GMT, Rhiannon opined: The movie's publicity directly compares it to Fahrenheit 451, there are supposedly very strong parallels in the theme, and the spin makes it sound like it was done with the author's blessing. Since there is a new film deal of Fahrenheit 451 in the works, Bradbury was not pleased. He is also a registered independent so does not like the fact that people are assuming Fahrenheit 9/11 portrays his political views. escapee wrote: To use the title? The Bradbury film was Fahrenheit 451. Does Bradbury have the copyright on the word "Fahrenheit" now?

I haven't seen it as a movie. I've read the book several times. Here's
just one link to info...several other news sites have carried basically the same article. I'm not sure which news site mentioned RB's political non-leanings. http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movi....ap/index.html escapee wrote: First of all, did you see Fahrenheit 451?

I have one of her designs--still not done and possibly never to be done.
After reading some of the things on her site and all, I don't want to stitch her designs, this is a personal preference. I was supposed to stitch on the angel but my name got lost somehow and i didn't re-volunteer for it. I may just do a pattern of the fireman's prayer for the local--since the military is going through and picking some of the local emergency personnel to be trained and sent overseas.

Not only does Hobby Lobby have most every chart made by her, they sell her kits, also. Lie number one. That's enough for me to discontinue trusting anything she says.

Oh pish-tush -- that reminds me of the joke about how you know a politician is lying -- his lips are moving. I cannot believe you think that Clinton is a liar only because he got caught in that whopper. Well now, it's good that you don't believe that because I certainly never said that.

"Dr. Brat" had some very interesting things to say about OT: Presidential Lies was New Angel: Fred wrote: What are the other elected representatives doing?? Surely the other elected representatives have the power to confront the "powers that be" within Congress or the Senate and demonstrate (provide proof) that LIES have been told, people were mislead and that the liars and misleaders should resign or be impeached, a.k.a. tossed out. Actually, impeached is not also known as tossed out. Clinton was impeached and kept his office. IIRC, impeachment is about equivalent to indictment. Actually, impeachement is equivalent to prosecution.

Why do you keep insisting on bashing a man who isn't in power? The past is the past, Clinton's lies are in the past. How is saying that Clinton lied, bashing him? If you want to keep beating the dead horse that is the Clinton presidency, that's fine, but I have the right to talk about the current big fat liar in office now if I want to too! You do, but they're not connected, really they're not. Of course, the post I'm replying to might just be more flame-war bait, and I guess by replying I've played into that haven't I? Huh? I really don't know what you're on about here, Caryn. I posted an honest appraisal of Clinton (for whom I voted twice and for whom I would vote again were it possible) and you accuse me of posting flame bait? I think perhaps your meters need recalibration.

On Thu, 24 Jun 2004 03:09:03 GMT, "Dr. Brat" opined: Why does this always end up being about Bush? Why can't we just discuss Clinton without bringing Bush into it? I swear it's like fighting with my husband. "I really hate it when you do X" "Yes but, you do Y and that's worse." Drives me nuts. Elizabeth Yeah, that's right. When I get on Mark's case about something, he has every right to express to me what annoys him about me. In other words, when I'm perfect, I can then expect perfection. That will never happen, so when he points things out to me it's an opportunity for me to look at myself and examine it. It's what being married is about. A journey to self. Oh, you misread me. He has every right to criticize me. I just wish he'd do it at the time that I have done something to annoy him. Instead he saves it until I criticize him and uses it to deflect the criticism. Not much of a journey to self there, I would say. So, I could talk trash about Bush all day, but that's really not what I wanted to discuss. I wanted to talk about Clinton and I don't get why it is that we can't talk about Clinton without someone (several million someones) piping up that Bush is worse. That's irrelevant to the discussion of Clinton, to my mind. Anyway, Rush and his cronies are still blaming everything, including this fake war on Clinton. They said he was wagging the dog when he went into Afghanistan to get Osama. I guess they were wrong, huh? You've said this twice now and I have no idea what you're on about. When did Clinton go into Afghanistan to get Osama?

I look at his record as president. We had the best economy in the history of our nation, and it wasn't based on this false economy set up by tax cuts. I can go on and on about it. You can hate him if you want, but I don't and I'd re-elect him in a second if he ran again, and when Senator Clinton runs for office, I will vote for her. She will probably be the first female president of the US. I can't wait. You're pretty funny. I never said I hated him. I said he lied under oath. Why does saying that make everybody assume that I hate him? I voted for him twice and would vote for him again if I could, but he still lied under oath. Facts is facts. I don't know if I'd vote for Hillary or not. I suspect not.
