무엇이든 자신이 태어나기 전보다 조금이라도 나은 세상을 만들어놓고 가는 것 당신이 이곳에 살다 간 덕분에 단 한 사람의 삶이라도 더 풍요로워지는 것 이것이 바로 성공이다. / 랄프왈도 에머슨-211쪽
슬픈 사람들에겐 너무 큰 소리로 말하지 말아요 눈으로 전하고 가끔은 손 잡아주고 들키지 않게 꾸준히 기도해주어요/ 이해인 수녀-78쪽
말할때도 무척 유쾌했는데 글도 참 유쾌하다. 군더더기 없이 본인이 핵샘만 정리햇다.
본인이 탄돌이로 당선된건 몰랐지만 국민으로써는 행운이다.
이런 국회의원이 앞으로 더 많이 나왔으면 좋겠다.
부디 감옥에서도 기죽지 말고 향후 대통령! 출마하시길^^
I loved the book! I've seen all of Michael Moore's documentaries except Roger & Me..which i will definitely get. It was shocking to know that MM wanted to become a priest when young..but soon decided politics/journalist was the way for him. It was powerful that he started off by his death threat and how he became the most hated person in America. I never imagined it was sooo difficult for him...having to have security guards 24/7...multiple death attacks..it's just horrible how amercian people can get... Also the things he went through as the youngest elected district school board of education...like clandestine meetings, no recording etc is something korea is going through now...especially the resemblance with nixon and MB is shocking! I guess democracy takes time and the process is pretty similar. His experience of giving a speech at 17 on the racial discrimination at Elks Club really changed his view on how one event can change society/laws. Moore reflects "that change can occur, and it can occur anywhere, with even the simplest of people the craziest of intentions, and that creating change didn't alwasy require having to devote your every waking hour to it with mass meetings and organizations and protests and TV appearances with Walter Cronkite. Sometimes change can occur because all you wanted was a bag of potato chips"(191) The most shocking was Moore had no training as a documentary film maker! He just really loved watching movies...I hope he makes many more of them. http://www.michaelmoore.com/books-films/
