Today, it seems like it's hard to even be able to form an opinion. Both the left and the right put their spin on the "news." I'm not going to state all of my opinions right here right now, but watching all of this discussion (the draft/women in the draft threads, the UN thread) has made me want to contribute my thoughts.

I lean to the left, and while Michael Moore might not always have the right facts, I believe his style gets people interested in politics. I definitely believe that to participate in politics, a person needs to be well-reasearched, and you can't do that by believing everything that the media tells you. I hope documentaries like "Fahrenheit 9/11" get young people more interested in the political process. All of the outrage and controversy over this documentary could possibly make people enraged enough to try to change things in our government.
