America in a nutshell.....courtesy of Michael Moore

[marmar]

from "SiCKO" screenplay:



Classrooms with 40 students, schools with no labs ...

No wonder the majority of our adults can't find Britain on a map. But that's OK. There's always college. And by the time we graduate, our ass is so in hock, we're deep in debt before our first job.

College student: "I'm at about ... we'll say about $35,000 in debt. That's for my third year in college."

You'll be the employee they're looking for -- one who needs this job. What employer wouldn't employ someone thousands of dollars in debt, because they won't cause any trouble? In addition to paying off your college debt, you need a job with health insurance. It would be horrible to lose that job, wouldn't it?
If that one job doesn't pay all the bills, don't worry. You can get another one, and another one, and another one.

Woman, speaking to President Bush: I work three jobs, and I feel like I contribute.

Bush: You work three jobs?

Woman: Three jobs, yes.

Bush: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. Get any sleep?

If you're not sleeping, take pharmaceuticals.

Voice from pharmaceutical ad: You're tired all the time. You feel sad.
If you suffer from excessive worry ...
Generalized anxiety disorder.
It could be adult ADD.
Ask your doctor.

Yes, ask your doctor, and ask him for more drugs. That should keep you doped up until it's time to retire. Did I say retire? (laughs) If you make it to 80, your pension will still be there, unlike the new employees for these companies, who'll never see a pension.

But I'm sure our kids will take care of us, considering the great life we've given 'em. Remember, let's defeat the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here.
