There is no personal responsibility left in America. I have a child. It's my job to teach him and watch what he watches and does. I guess I am the only one who thinks this way. Good luck having the parental government raise your child.

Excellent film, to me, it perfectly describes the relationship between the corporate media and politicians in the US. That being said, this film is 25+ years old, and while still very relevant (and great) it generally leaves me feeling apat
