Check out the following quotes & audio clips from a Rolling Stone feature profiling Mike.
My feeling toward John Edwards and John Kerry and those who now say that they are sorry for supporting the war is the same feeling I would have if you were drunk behind the wheel of a car and killed my child and came to me later and said, ‘I’m sorry…’
Moore argues we as citizens shouldn’t blame the government for all the injustices, we should blame ourselves for putting them in office: Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II — combined, they’ve committed an assault on the working people of this country, virtually destroyed the middle class and taken a dump on this planet.
Moore discusses at length the ongoing metamorphosis of Al Gore, from the boring winner that lost to today’s political rock star: He’s sort of a modern-day Moses in the sense that he wasn’t allowed to cross into the Promised Land, even though he won…and I have a feeling that millions of Americans would like to rectify that wrong.
Moore believes there is a balance of world power on the verge of being tipped once we run out of gas: Forty years from now, America may not be the world’s only superpower. And once the oil that’s under the earth stops flowing, the whole dynamic is going to change. We can start to deal with that now, or we can ignore it.
