Moore's new movie is great, and will accomplish nothing

I just finished watching Sicko (again), which completely eviscerates Big Insurance. The result? Big Insurance now, 2 years later, has 10 times as much power as it had in 2007. C-ALS, regardless of how accurate and damning it is, will have no effect on our sprint to fascism.

Thanks Michael, you did your part. You just can't compete with King Glen and the rest of the corporate media.

1. Coming from a cynic--- you are far too negative and pessimistic.

The glass is half full sometimes. Anyway, a half-full glass is better than an empty glass. :thumbsdown:

2. Au contraire. It's caused a redistribution of wealth from us to him.

4. Indeed. The percentage of the $8 that Mike gets from me

every couple of years is equivalent to the 30% reduction that I had to take in pay this year and the $10,000 a year that my husband and I have to pay in health insurance every year, the 45% loss that we suffered in regards to our retirement fund, the small businesses that are closing their doors because people are losing their jobs. Meanwhile, the rich are making out like bandits.

7. Don't you have anything worthwhile to contribute?

n/t

8. I wonder how many are still fooled by the Lennon av.

3. It has a Joe Wilson effect. It already has. Several Dems are going medieval.

5. Of course it won't. The average person cares more about "reality TV" than

the well-being of their country and planet.

9. So many protested our local 15 screen movie theater that corporate called me ( I was one of them)

and left a message with my husband that they have decided to play it starting Friday. So the pressure is making them listen to us that's good..now if we can get Obama to listen to us.
