You are right. I am sorry. Something happened with the link. Actually I own the pbook. When I looked this link up, sometime ago, it had THE book in separate linked chapters. And a link to the pdf. It does not have it anymore.
It seems decent enough; I PDF'd it with the settings I like & put it on my reader to read later. But being serious doesn't mean it's not propaganda, which doesn't have to include lies, just deliberate focusing of some facts while steering attention away from others. (I don't know if this is propaganda or not.) I consider Michael Moore's films to be propaganda; that I like them & mostly agree with them doesn't change that he's trying to promote an agenda, not give a neutral portrayal of facts.

I wrote It is a serious book, not a joke.
(Now imagine that you go, take a walk, drink a cup of coffe, than come back and resume reading.
It is not propaganda IMHO.
The book has generated controversy.
I do not understand what Moore has to do with this.
