i'm amazed.

it's not exactly going to help if you first encourage people to become michael moore, and then start banning a film made by a potential michael moore. it's only free publicity for the film. hello, in the cyberspace-d and globalised age we live in, people will just want to see it even more. and now anmesty international's screening it, other countries' film festivals may want to screen it too.
behind every policy there must be a reason. it's not that difficult to get people to believe the reasons if they make sense.
but like every student who has written the Man&Ideas paper should know, arguments ain't valid if they contradict. it's like shooting ya self, ya know.
if you promise the people something, you encourage them to have expectations of it. humans don't like to be confused or feel as if they're taken for a ride.
this isn't so hard to understand, is it.
