* Are We Living in a True Democracy? *

I ask the question and ask that people open themselves up to the possiblity that some elections in the past have been stolen. I'm not picking on either Republicans or Democrats as I'm sure both sides have their shady dealings. I do believe that the information on this documentary as well as Noam Chomsky's documentaries and Gore Vidal's books are very telling. I question whether democracy is alive anymore and if it is too late in our life times to correct this.

A stunning view of a behind the scenes look at the 2000 presidential election. Much of the info in this documentary was not on the major news networks ... hmmm, I wonder why.

Robert Greenwald, Uninhibited

Do you remember the 2000 election? Well, you probably do, and well, if you're looking at this DVD in the first place, and you probably remember feeling angst one way or another about those days post-2000 election night. Well, Greenwald doesn't attempt to spurn those feelings; instead, he shows why decisively on both sides of the aisle (but with an admittedly more anti-Republican focus), the 2000 election was a farcical debacle.

This was one of many DVD's to come out after that election, but Greenwald's films have the appreciativeness of speed, accuracy, and quality, which many frankly lack. Critical sources consisting of authors, Florida community leaders, and many other people add their two cents to this film and give even more depth and credibility. Even Danny Glover takes the role of 'conductor' if you will, through at least a bit of the film.

Overall though, the film cut to the quick as it needed, and should remind us not what's wrong with our voting system, although it does that plent. But what we can do to make it better, and why the fight for voting rights is an ever eventful fight.

Lacking of the facts

Don't let a propoganda wheel fool you of the truth

1. The Miami Herald gained access to all Florida ballots and did their own recount, at their own time --- who won? BUSH! ----- http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2001-04-03-floridamain.htm

2. There is a case that African American voters were turned away - however, where is the same case for the many Haitan American voters who were also turned away in droves, who are known to be sympathetic towards Republican causes

The filmmakers had a chance to make a point about voter rights and election problems - they turned this to an attack against President Bush and Republicans instead

Sadly, their message will only be heard by Bush-haters, instead of the world, because of their decision
