Michael Moore...

[Debi]

ok, you either love him or hate him. I love this guy. his new film, 'Sicko' ...can't wait to see it. kudos to someone that stands up to the Man.

 

[Fruit bat]

I don't know , I'm still having wierd cardiac conditions from the viewing of Captain Jack a couple of weeks ago. Won't be seeing any new movies for a while.

 

[Buckshot]

Its a love hate relationship. I agree with much of what he says about the war situation and about Bush. I am very against his gun control efforts. I do admire anyone for standing up to the man.

 

[Aussie Red]

I have a mixed feeling as well. Although I admire anyone who will stand up and speak out about a broken system and wrong doings I tend to stand back and look at the overall. His messages are a bit too overboard as well. I never follow anyone I stand alone in my ideas. I may agree with bits of this and bits of that but overall I need my own world.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Dislike him.

 

[Dizzy]

I like his attituide.

I do think he is a bit overly biased (I prefer a balanced, maybe slightly less radical honest view!).

I can't NOT like someone who stands up for their beliefs, and trys to help the people though, and he brings very important topics to the attention of the masses, which is never a bad thing.

 

[noludoru]

Am I allowed to not know who he is?

 

[jess2416]

I could care less either way.... I dont love him or hate him

 

[~Jessie~]

I dislike him =/

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Am I allowed to not know who he is?

Most definitely.

 

[Sush]

not a big fan either...

 

[RD]

He irritates me. I'll applaud anyone who sticks it to the man, but I think he's getting more extreme as an act to gain more recognition. He's just as Hollywood as anyone else -- except without the glamour.

Moore Watch.

Moore Exposed!

Then man is a propaganda artist, not a documentarian.

 

[ToscasMom]

Its a love hate relationship

.

Ditto.

I do hear that his latest is a huge embarrassment for the health care system in America. Now if that isn't deserved, I don't know what is.

 

[Renee750il]

"Health Care" used in reference to what is done here in the U.S. is an oxymoron on the same level as "military intelligence."

 

[ToscasMom]

For such a rich country, it is certainly an embarrassment that we rank something like 37th in health care, far behind most all of Europe and some other more surprising countries. Last i saw, Germany ranked first.

 

[blue]

So should the US government legislate our health care?

 

[ToscasMom]

The US government already has. The health insurers already run this country along with the oil companies.

 

[blue]

Then why would MM need to make another propaganda movie?

Do you really trust our polliticians to run our health care system?

 

[ToscasMom]

No Blue, I don't. It's not their job to run it. But it is their job to recognize that life and death should not be attached to a stockholder's report either. Right now, health care providers are making decisions as to who lives or dies based on the ability to pay for insurance. And that is just plain wrong. I pay more per month for my health insurance than many people pay for their mortgages, and that's for a single person HMO. A family policy would be totally out of reach. This tells me that most people I know cannot afford to pay for health care. Certainly not the middle class. The rich can afford it, the poor get it free and everyone else has to punt. and that is just plain wrong.
