Yet Moore's ego is entertainingly punctured when he is shown as a smug liberal martyr attempting to destroy Team America's headquarters - by rigging himself up as a suicide bomber. Again, a breathtaking moment of offensiveness: a veritable chain-mail fist through the paper-screen of celebrity correctness. It wasn't that long ago that Michael Moore, in his anti-gun documentary Bowling for Columbine, was interviewing Matt Stone, and generally praising him to the skies as a fellow satirist. And this is how he is repaid? Oh
More recently, there was Hitler's genocidal six-million-death final solution to the Jewish problem, and the Communists' ten of millions of mass murders continue to this day. All this has been done without benefit of nuclear power. Many made comments came at the beginning of the atomic or nuclear age, and while the source and the judgment deserve respect, experience has shown that nuclear power in Western hands deterred a third world war and ultimately caused the collapse of the greatest
Sunflower Response In the book, The Sunflower, Simon Wiesenthal writes of an incident occurring when he was a Nazi concentration camp prisoner.

The next day, the nurse who had summoned Wiesenthal the day before told him Karl had died.
Edmund accepted the challenge by saying “With the hell-hated lie o’erwhelm thy heart, which, for they yet glance by and scarcely bruise, this sword of mine shall give them instant way” (5, 3, 176-178). Edgar defeated his brother and evened out the balance of power through violence. Violence is not always used this way however. It is often used as revenge or punishment. In Act 3, Scene 7 Cornwall pulls out Gloucester’s eyes because he aided Lear.
In the chapter ‘Choynski,’ Mark is now an adult, seeking information on Joe Choynski, a deceased boxer who was being inducted into the old-timers’ category of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Mark is told to go to Canastota, New York (sight of the Hall of Fame) to check in with Charley Davis, a one-time sportswriter from San Francisco. In the first two pages of the chapter, his grandmother’s poor health serves as a forewarned ominous sign, as Choynski has been dead and Davis suffered a stroke recently. Death is a recurring theme in the chapter, but what is not made clear is the reason why Mark is taking a plane ticket to talk with an old sportswriter about a long dead boxer who never held the heavyweight title in his life. It’s possible
Antigone, an outstanding play written by “Sophocles”, in this play a quote is mentioned by a blind prophet that goes by the name of Tiresias. He goes on to say in pages 111 to 112 “Think: All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil: The only Crime is pride.” Right from the beginning he wants the reader to think. That if a man has a lot or too much pride; it can be their only true crime. For example, recently a story has come out about a NBC news reporter. Who eligibly said his helicopter was shot down in the Iraq war.
Chester Chan 29 November 2011 Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, is story of the bombing of Dresden, from living through it, and his attempt at an anti-war book. Once when he discussed his plan for writing with a movie-maker, he was asked, “Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?” (Vonnegut 3) Vonnegut knew how daunting a task it was to write this novel, and even when he was done, he told the publisher, “It is so short and jumbled and jangled, Sam, because there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre.” (Vonnegut 18) The name Slaughterhouse Five is for the slaughterhouse in which he was locked up in during the massacre, and alternately titled, The Children’s Crusade to prevent from giving war a glamorous image
