shadyslayer's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- coolness. yesterday was dumb, i couldn't be online. neither shall i be allowed tomorrow. stupid mom. today i wrote this to michael moore: Okay, so I know you'll most likely never read this email, but after reading your book last night, (I had bought it at 10 as I was leaving Target) I had decided that I had you email you. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to email you about, but I had decided that I had to email you. Reading through your website, I had come across your F911 emails. The Texas emails were the ones I was particularly interested in, being that I am in fact, from the grand state of Texas. In fact, I spent most of my life in Abilene, TX. True, I'm only 15, so that's a grand total of 7 and a half years, but that is beside the point. I had went to see F911 with my mother and my little sister, and I was pleasently suprised that they were actually showing it in my Christian Conservative Homeland. This is the town of Abilene Christian University, Harden Simmons University, and McMurry University. A Church of Christ University, a Baptist University, and a Methodist University. Thus calling it the Homebase of the Christian Coalition. The people here are insane. When I was in the 8th grade, (I'll be in 10th next year) it was SACRALIDGE to even *think* about saying "George W. Bush is not a good president". I hated him the moment he was in office, and think: I was only 12! I remember watching the news reports on that special day, 9/11. I had skipped school, because I'm a cool kid. I was sitting in my living room, watching as the first plane hit. Being the paranoid conspiracy theorist I am, I automatically assumed this: we were under attack. I knew it the moment the first one hit. And as I was telling my mom about how we were going to all die, because the rest of the world had finally realized how much was sucked, and how I was going to move to Canada, the second plane hit. Now my mom was also convinced that we were under attack. I went to school the next day, and everyone was talking about it. Some of the teachers had made the kids watch the news all day instead of work. Every classroom I went into had the television on FNC. It was insane. I wanted to murder anywho who said, "George W. is going to save us!" Morons. Which brings me to my point, yes, I have one. When I saw F911, the theater was *not* packed. There were maybe... 20 people in there, including my family. No body was talking about the film, and no body really seemed to care. My mom and I have been waiting patiently for them to start arguing about it on Crossfire, or something. Nothing. Nothing! The most controversial film since....well...The Passion, and NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!! It's more than irritating, it's absurd. If only I was at school still: I'd be raising hell. So while it was comforting to know that I was not alone in the Lone Star state, I was still very saddened by the fact that nobody wants to talk about it but me! Even the democrats I know...which consist of my mother and my grandfather, don't really want to talk about it. My grandfather hasn't even seen it yet, and he's a big libral democrat. My mom laughed at him when he asked about whether you were a democrat or not, because my grandfather has never read a book of yours or seen any of your movies. I believe her quote was, "No no no, He hates us just as much as he hates the Republicans...but that's not the point!" Which bring me to my next point. I am a Democrat. I am as PROUD of that as I am of being a homosexual. Which, I am. I am a Libral Democrat, and I am the most ACTIVE person in my age group, that I know of. I knew of everything in your movie before I saw it, because I actually care, and look into things. I got into politics because of Punk Rock Bands like NO FX and ANTI-FLAG. Websites like punkvoter.com gave me my information. I was offended, when you said we were wimps. Maybe it's just me and my fellow Howard Dean fans, (yeah I still love him) but I am an ANGRY Democrat, if anything. I am so ANGRY and PASSIONATE about politics, and the Democratic party, that I've been known to want to MURDER the president. Assasination is the next answer! Bush better hope Kerry wins, because if he doesn't, I'm on a trip to the White House with my Shotgun. Or maybe an Assault Rifle, since the ban on Assault weapons is about to expire, and the Bush Administration isn't lifiting a hand to help it be renewed. That'll bite him in the ass. My point is, NOT ALL DEMOCRATS ARE WIMPS! Some of us are insane. Insane with passion. You try living in Texas, and being a Democrat for awhile. See how angry you get withing FIVE SECONDS. To quote NO FX, "It's not the right time to be sober, now the idiots have taken over". You say the Country is Libral, but...but...NOT HERE! Every bastard is CONSERVATIVE HERE...sigh.. I'll end this with this: I love all your movies and have them on tape. (I taped them from IFC) I love all your books. (read them regulaly) I hate this town, and this state, and most of the time, this country. I am not a wimp. I wish you'd go on Larry King. Please, don't make me start a petition. *nod* I know I ramble and that most of this makes absolutely no sense. I hope you'll forgive me, because I really didn't know what I wanted to talk about...so it all just started coming out of my fingers, and I began to rant. I do this often....you should see my website. shadyslayer.diaryland.com. My rant on how America treats Homosexuals is one of my favorites. thank you for reading, if you've had time to get this. I know you're very busy. Amanda Jennings Abilene, TX ---- i am so cool. 12:03 pm - Wednesday, Jul. 14, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
