Cool! I wonder if the location of each of the houses house is a contributing factor in their energy consumption. For example, I know for a fact that my relatives in Southern California have no central heating system at all, and their house isn't completely enclosed like ours so they don't have an air conditioner either.

I voted Bush in 2000 against Gore.
You're no longer my friend.

We are BOG. Resistance is voltage over current.

He lost me on all that personal crap. He could have easily fit some better science into those rather lengthy slots. And it would have been loads more exciting. Oh my god, Gore lost the election of 2000? How could that happen? I wasn't sure if I should laugh or yawn at his reminiscences... the yawn won.
Sorry to interrupt on your conversation, but I have to say that the lengthy slots of his personal crap really bothered me. I first had the opportunity to see the film in my local library when they had a film night thing. After the second slot, I couldn't take it anymore and got up and left... yanking my wife along with me... she didn't like it either. THEN, I rented the dvd and watched it at home. Why? So I could just fast forward through those boring slots.

Well, I'd disagree with you two on Michael Moore. I don't think he's lied or exaggerated too much in his documentaries. He's just putting the issues in more extreme lighting than most people do.

It's like saying "you're a shorty short short" and "you are vertically challenged".

I share Moore's views on most social issues, but I really don't trust the facts he brings up in his movies. I also haven't done a lot of research to back up my distrust, so I could be giving him an unfair rap, but I am skeptical.
I was once skeptical as well. But after I looked into it, I actually couldn't find anything wrong with his facts.
​
Just think of it this way. The conservatives would be screaming bloody murder if they could find anything wrong with his facts. But notice that it's always his conclusions that they try to attack.
​
I can understand why people are skeptical of his facts. He presents them in a grimmer light than most people would put them. Again, it's like saying "you are a shorty short short" rather than "you are vertically challenged". Well, both are technically true, but the first statement makes people wonder if it's a fact or if it's there just to make fun of someone.
