Title: The Untold History of the United States
Post by: Conrad on December 11, 2012, 01:45:19 PM: Anyone watching this on Showtime? I watched the first episode last night. It's very well done and extremely interesting. Lots of 'never before seen' video footage and pictures.

Post by: Conrad on December 11, 2012, 02:53:12 PM: Whatever, it's still interesting to me. I'll do my best not to turn into a communist after watching. Hopefully I'll still be able to think for myself by then.

Post by: Rhino on December 11, 2012, 04:35:03 PM: I'm familiar with Oliver Stone's other works of fiction. I do agree that fiction can be entertaining. The only problem is that millions will be watching and will not know it's fiction.

Thanks Jim, normally if I have problems thinking for myself all I have to do is ask my wife. :o

Look, you're like any other married couple. When your wife wants you to have an opinion she will give it to you. Pay attention!!!!
