So listening to the media talk about Moore's file, "Capitalism, a love story"
Instead of talking about the contents of the movies, they instead point out how much money the movie will gross, and how that represents the ultimate form of capitalism

Since they do NOT care to go into the substance of the movie itself, that says volumes

It must really be an indictment on the greed of the corporate elitists

I am a capitalist, but capitalism without regulations is disaster

1. What are they going to do, defend the indefensible?
That it's somehow a "good thing" that the lower 90% of the nation has been given the shit end of the stick when it comes to unmitigated corporatism? That this movie is somehow lying?

"You know, let's not make US the bad guy. How about MICHAEL MOOOOOOOORE and how big of a capitalist HYPOCRITE he is!??! I mean, how DARE he make a profit off of his wares and call US the criminals! The very THOUGHT!"

2. I guess they won't mention that most all of the money
he makes goes into his next film...I hear he is tired of doing this type of movie, feels frustrated by lack of change. I hope that is not so.

3. he will probably give it away free in the future
Edited on Wed Sep-23-09 10:59 AM by angrycarpenter
the way SICKO is free now instead of aggressively pursuing copyright infringement forever and suing everyday people for everything they own. That's the capitalism he hates.

4. It certainly is a bit of irony though isn't it?
I haven't heard how he has addressed that issue but am pretty sure he has.
