No, fiction is fine, but when it looks true, too many people think it  
is true.

I loved his argument in Farenheit 9/11 - no one should have to send  
their children to fight in the Gulf, but politicians who didn't where  
bad... He never spoke to the number of congressmen and senators that  
didn't have children that were old enough to fight (or too old).
