'''Lucas:''' Fahrenheit 9/11 . People went nuts. The folk aspects of that film were George Bush or Iraq or 9/11 or – intense emotional issues that made people put up their blinders and say, “I have an opinion about this, and I’m not going to accept anything else.” If you could look at these issues more open-mindedly – at what’s going on with the human mind behind all this, on all sides – you could have a more interesting conversation, without people screaming, plugging their ears, and walking out of the room like kids do.</ref> despite the fact that the contents of the film were systematically shown to be untrue, maliciously edited, and bordering on treasonous by an independent study.<ref>http://www.davekopel.org/terror/59Deceits.pdf (archived version found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20040719225448/http://www.davekopel.org/terror/59Deceits.pdf)</ref>
