Poll question: What do you think should be Michael Moore's next project
I am so sick and tired of these issues that the only thing that can
keep all of us from going insane is to expose these ASSHOLES for
what they are.

I would love it if the media would be his next project.

WHAT SAY YOU....EH!

20. What about a documentary about the Constitution of the United States?
It seems a lot of Americans don't even know what it's all
about--including members of Congress!
Michael Moore could probably do it as an enlightening and
entertaining history lesson and then show present-day
examples of how it is being shred to pieces by the powers-
that-be and how the complacent sheeple are brain-washed
to think it is OK. He can show how the MSM, MIC, government,
etc. are all tied in to this. Of course it would be very
explosive and dangerous for him to expose all this, but it
would really wake up America!

2. Either the MSM or the Educational System...or go for the motherlode: The M.I.C.
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 11:52 AM by YOY
For the MSM: What I wouldn't give to track down the woman who asked about the "flag pins" and ask her just why this flag pin that made in China makes one more patriotic. It would be even funnier if he exposed the "questioners" as plants...wouldn't surprise me.

But not as easy to prove as a "media bias" or "Military Industrial Complex" manipulation.

13. The M.I.C. makes me think tinfoil hat ideas that make too much sense
There's just too many questions to be aswered:

Why do we spend the same now on the military than as during the cold war?

Why do we need a new model of air superiority jet?

Who are we competing with? China?

Did we manufacture a new enemy to replace the old? It sure feels like it. But you can't "outspend" these guys.

Why do companies like Lockheed Martin and Boeing NEED to produce weopons? Couldn't they do something fantastic for the infrastructure instead?

All good questions that the answers are either obvious or no available because not enough people are asking them?

8. Until the "mainstream" media is exposed for the right wing
shills they are, nothing will change in this country. People still believe that when they tune into CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, they are getting "the news." Until that changes, we're fucked.

10. Unbridled Corporatism.
Or "What the Wealthy Want, The Wealthy Will GET, No Matter What the Cost to Everything and Everyone Else."

Because if you want a single sentence that's generally the heart of ALL of America's problems, it would be the one above.

Why a collective handful of pink Brooks-Brothers suited bastards were and still are allowed to

* dictate public and private policy
* make and break rules in their unopposed favor
* continue to escalate further and further up the wealth chart while billions of people of all income levels cannot even make ends meet
* profit immensely from the Military Industrial Complex while our infrastructure goes to seed
* buy entire governments
* purchase media companies
* be entrenched in both political parties via lobbyists and contributions
* complain that domestic workers aren't educated enough (a WHOPPER of a lie) while offshoring all of the jobs you're supposed to get an education for . . . and all of the blue collar jobs also, effectively creating a race-to-the-bottom work force that is no longer factored in a business climate.
* serially pollute our environment and don't care

He can start by reading The Great Risk Shift by Jacob Hacker, The Two-income Trap by Elizabeth Warren, Screwed by Thom Hartmann, Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins and Perfectly Legal by David Cay Johnston.

14. that's my vote
even though there is way too much corporate crime to ever get into one film...

i also wouldn't mind seeing him take on the credit card companies...Or something else, specifically: the whole lobbying industry, how races are funded, and how people are truly elected (and what they do once elected)

15. I'd still like to see a thorough examination of what happened on September 11th
although Michael Moore probably wouldn't be the best person to present the facts on this controversial subject, as he would be accused of being highly biased and slanted, and I'd just like to see a full and complete expose, with all sides of the issue presented, and that is taken seriously by all Americans. I think Moore's best subject matter would be how we conduct elections in this country and why it's completely screwed up and susceptible to corruption.
