How can this be? Didn't Michael Moore blow himself up suicide bombing Mt Rushmore back in 2004?

Michael Moore is a genious. All his stuff MATTERS!

Unfortunately, the med/pharma lobby has Congress bought and paid for. The only hope for anything other than meaningless, token reform, is to elect Hillary and give her an overwhelming majority in the legislative branch. One that is also blessed with the courage to just say no to the big buck vote buyers.

Not likely.

Everyone in the West would go a long way to reducing their medical bills if they practiced preventative health care by following the example of the traditional Okinawan culture, the healthiest and longest-lived people on the planet, as outlined in the excellent book, The Okinawa Program, which you can find at Okinawa-Diet.com

Great movie, just watched it!!! An ingenious film blending comedy, information and compassion, as only Michael can. Michael moore is more than a film director, he is a moderne day prophet, putting the honest truth out, bearing the weight of scorn on his shoulder, many do carry the burden of truth, ,and fight the good fight to bring change, but Michael surely is a leader, if not also a Martyr. Praise be, and go MM!!

No one wants to buy a government manufactured car like the Yugo. Imagine what government health care will be like in this country. The public education system in this country is a good indicator of what we will get.

The problem with health care today is government involvement. They've (we have) messed this and other markets like telecommunications and transportation by burdening operators in these markets with legislation that only serves to keep the big corrupt corporations in business. The big established players can burn billions of our dollars (they just pass the costs on to their customers) keeping up with rules and regulations which keep small independent and innovative business (lower cost products) from entering the market.

If we were to revoke the controls and regulations that stifle health care, telecommunications, education, and transportation, the most vocal complainers will the big fat established players. They would yell that the removal of government controls would keep them from providing essential services. They are correct. Other small innovative players would take their place. They know that smaller competitors could enter the market and erode their market share which is ensured by burdensome rules and regulations. You can see this in the recent voice over IP fray. Who were the businesses at the top of the list to introduce legislation to keep them in their government sanctioned thrones?

Micheal Moore is calling for even more burdensome legislation that will lower the quality of health care to new depths. It utter nonsense that basic health care in countries like Canada, France, and Great Britain is better.

Remove the controls that keep the established passionless business in place. Don't introduce more layers of bureaucracy that will end up costing all of us in higher costs and lower quality.

Michael made another movie: hope you like crap!Jun 17th, 2007 - 21:19:57

'Michael Moore is a genious[sic]. All his stuff MATTERS!'

Only someone who has no regard for the cinema, no regard for talent, no regard for truth, no regard for craftsmanship, no regard for competency and no regard for common sense could ever call that hack a 'genius'.

He has made a career at telling insecure, bandwagon hopping, easily lead idiots what they want to hear.

'Moore Martyr': Hypocrisy Akabar!Jun 17th, 2007 - 21:25:44

LOL! A modern day 'prophet'! Now that is rational! 'If not also a Martyr'? Maybe after the gigantic coronary he has after stuffing his morbidly obese face full of ho-hos and twinkles he will be. I hope he martyrs himself to the great cause of gluttony and hypocrisy soon.

Michael Moore likes to tell lies to idiotsJun 17th, 2007 - 21:45:51

'The lies of Michael Moore.' By Christopher Hitchens

'Do As I Say (Not As I Do)-Schweizer

'Manufacturing Dissent' -Rick Caine and Debbie Melnyk

'Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11' By Dave Kopel


Moore proudly points to his upbringing in the working-class Michigan city, a former United Auto Workers Union stronghold, and much of his movie 'Roger & Me” was filmed there.But Moore does his film production in Canada to avoid paying union scale and threatened to fire half of his TV show's writing staff when they wanted to join a union, reviewer David Forsmark reports after reading Schweizer’s book.

'He's a proponent of affirmative action but never has hired a black person to do anything important on one of his projects.'Moore claims he owns no stock and only puts ‘what little I can’ in ‘something the old-timers call a savings account’ - yet Schweizer writes that he owns stock in defense contractors and Halliburton.

In 'Roger & Me.' a film that revolved around Moore's supposedly fruitless attempts to interview Roger Smith, then the chairman of General Motors, after his company closed plants Michigan, Moore actually got to interview Rodger Smith, but didn't put it in the movie because he didn't like the answers he goit. He left it on the cutting-room floor and sold the movie as his brave struggle to track down someone who wouldn't talk to him. In other words, the WHOLE PREMISE of his movie was a lie.

There are whole blogs devoted to unearthing this guys misrepresentations and outright lies. Anyone who thinks he is telling them the truth is an idiot.

the unrelenting assertion by the blind right that anyone who disagrees with them is anti-american; it is anathema to the very basics of the united states. trite, petulant snipes at americans is by far the sorry state of the diehards who never miss a chance to provide evidence that they hate america. i am disgusted with the mental midgets who hate democrats more than they hate ANY foreign group.

i served in iraq (balad). where were you? sign up or shut up.
