More on Moore

[westrich at miser.umass.edu]

I did not see the Oscars but I did see part of the Independent Spirit Awards.  
Moore gave the exact same speech; no booing, some vigorous cheering, and mostly 
polite applause.  

Another actor (I did not know his name but I have seen him in things, sorry) 
gave a longer, more carefully reasoned and moving speech later.

"In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win."
