Re: censorship
I think you're wrong. 1.) Moore's film has been completed without hinderance and has been released without hinderance, 2) The Villages has not censored his work product by not showing the film in its theaters, 3) Freedom of speech violation does not apply (see item 1).
If Moore was not prevented from either making and releasing his film and if his film was not altered by those showing it, his freedoms were not violated. Example: It is not censorship if a publisher declines an author's offer of a book manuscript. Moore and/or his producers must sell his product to theaters and theaters are not obligated to buy. Moore's primary motive is to sell controversial films with hope of making a profit. Advancing his political agenda comes in a distant second in my opinion.
Could it be that the decision by The Villages to not show this film is related to anticipated ticket sales? Oh...and one more thing......how can you be sure of the political leanings of the Morse family?
