Movie Night in Lee

Filed under: General — shadow @ 7:01 pm

The showing of “Sir. No, sir” at the Town of Lee Democratic Committee movie night was well received. Much of the information in the documentary about military resistance during the Viet Nam war was new and most of the audience (about 25) were struck that it took seven years to bring that misadventure to a halt. The similarities with iraq are striking.

Though, it seems, considering all the stock news footage available from the Viet Nam era, that there’s a lot less objective coverage this time around. If the Pentagon learned anything, it was that the public should be kept in the dark about what was/is going on.

We’re scheduled to view a short video, “Kilowatt Ours,” at our regular meeting next Wednesday as well. Meet, as usual, at Gepetto’s in Newmarket and come a little early, if you’re planning to eat. Any candidates for public office are, of course, always welcome. If they get in touch, I can put them at the head of the agenda.

Both Obama and Kucinich were represented at the Lee meeting, btw, and left literature to pass around.
