More Michael Moore!!

The first time that I saw Michael Moore was in 2003, while I watched the Academy Award (Oscar). Moore won at the documentary category, and in his speech he said he liked non-fiction but he was living fictitious times where there were fictitious election results that elected a fictitious President, who had made a war for fictitious reasons. I thought: “What a brave man!”, saying that, during the ceremony, in a country where many people are very patriotic you have to be a very brave person. After that I read two books wrote by him: “Stupid White Man”, in which Moore makes critical reviews of Bush´s government. He talks about racism in the USA, the order given to recyclable waste, the social security´s bankruptcy and the penitentiary expansion. I also read “Dude, Where´s my country?”. With acid reviews and good humor, he deals with subjects ranging from the dubious academic training of President Bush to a business relationship with Ben Laden family. Michael Moore has other books and documentaries. Always ironic and humorous, he never stops talking about many subjects that Americans avoid.
