Well, things would be a lot more interesting, for sure. Exo was always entertaining if nothing else.

Was the Bush Administration Obsessed With Me? —By Michael Moore

The date was July 30, 2004. 'Fahrenheit 9/11' was already a huge hit in the United States. Just to give you an idea how huge, it had hit #1 at the box office, the only documentary to have ever accomplished this feat, and had made more on its opening weekend than 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.'

But it was no easy path to get there. Disney (which owned Miramax) was apoplectic when they saw the final cut. So they pulled the film from its theatrical schedule. Then they put a permanent block on its release, insuring no one would see it. But then the New York Times, in a front page story, reported that the real reason Disney hated 'Fahrenheit' was they were worried about the tax breaks it got in Jeb Bush's Florida for Disney World. This caused some embarrassment, so Disney then sold 'Fahrenheit' to the Weinstein Bros., who said they'd spend their own money to distribute it.

The release of the film caused concern at the White House, as this was the re-election year. They hired a pollster who told them the film might tip the election. That was enough for them to swing into action. Much of July was a nonstop barrage of attacks on me and the movie. But that just resulted in more tickets being sold.

For some reason, I think that no purported world-leading nation should have double digit hunger.  Hell, when I was growing up, that sort of charge was leveled at the Soviet Union - that it couldn't entirely feed itself.  With 16% of the populace wanting for food...one kind of suspects that the same is true about the U S of A.
 
It seems to me, as an outsider, that everything in the US assumes 100% employment on sufficient wages, and when that is not the case the wheels come off. Maybe, as 100% employment isn't coming back for a long time, that assumption needs to change. Merely an observation.

For some strange reason, I think that no purported world-leading nation should have double digit hunger.  Hell, when I was growing up, that sort of charge was leveled at the Soviet Union - that it couldn't entirely feed itself.  With 16% of the populace wanting for food...one kind of suspects that the same is true about the U S of A.
