Another Inconvenient Truth, circa 1776

The difficulty we as an audience must overcome while consuming "An Inconvenient Truth" is the sensation of going to a movie: drive to the theater, buy the ticket, eat the popcorn as we watch the advertising, make insightful comments on the way back to the car.

This media is no more a movie than "Common Sense" was a little pamphlet.

"Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour;a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
