Plus, Stone is a f'ing legend. We've got Moore who was elected to the school board at 18, while Stone's papa was taking him to see hookers at the age of 16. That's what I call visionary.
Thanks for the insight! I applaud your ability to separate Moore's politics in relation to yours from his film making approach and ability.

As for JFK, I believe Hardcore is right if not on the right track about that "impact".

Peace...
