Scene from SiCKO...

Let me say, right off the bat, that I loved "Bowling for Columbine". I think more people on the "right" should see the movie. I don't necessarily agree with some of the tactics of the film, but it made me think, and I think it actually had a very balanced view of violence and guns and American culture. Not perfect, but fun, interesting and thought provoking.

I did not see "Farenheit 9/11", though I have heard that it lacked what made "Columbine" and the earlier "Roger and Me" so good.

Well, it appears that Michael Moore has come back to form. His latest filme "SICKO", which is about the American health industry and the problems it has, is getting lots of buzz. The film seems to pull no punches, though it probably does offer a slightly rosy view of the more socialist health systems in Canada, England and Cuba. It's main point, however, seems to be the failings and greed that are in the American system.

Well, here is a scene from the film...



I am looking forward to it.

The People's Cube

The People's Cube (a satire website/blog) has up several new stories, and interesting takes on other stories:)

Also, I would like to point out that I had the same idea about the similarity between "carbon credits" and indulgences:D
