SOMEONE THERE TO SHOOT HER EVERY MINUTE OF HER LIFE (2)
From William Raspberry's column on Fahrenheit 9/11:
But it's not all slyness. The most powerful story in the film is
that of Lila Lipscomb, from Moore's hometown of Flint, Mich., who,
when we meet her, is boasting of her family's military service.
A daughter served in the Gulf War and a son is serving in Iraq.
Later, after the son is killed, she reads, on camera, his last
letter home; in it he tells her how pointless and wrong and
destructive the war seems to him.
And now this woman, who "used to hate those [Vietnam War]
protesters," is a peculiarly effective war protester herself.
