Sicko
I saw Michael Moore's Sicko tonight. Wow. Powerful stuff. Documentaries like this make me wish that there is a hell, because if there is, there will be a very special place for the Bush family, Dick Cheney, "Big Pharma" executives, HMO executives and the list could go on. I have to say that this documentary also confirmed my dislike of Hillary Clinton. She is definitely not the answer. She sold out and is just a beholden to private interests as any of them (the corporate party with two heads lives on).
I really think that Michael Moore is a true American hero (although I don't always like his tactics). While I'm on the subject, I would like to add that I think that Ralph Nader is a true American hero. I just watched An Unreasonable Man and he is just so amazing. I love his idea of citizenship as a profession. What we could do if people just had a tenth of his energy and dedication. I had dinner (along with a group of 15 or so organizers) with him once. He was very quiet and subdued; however, his talk was amazing, inspiring and funny.
