Did I say that kind of behavior was exscusalble? Trust me, I'm more ruthless than most when people deserve retribution for lack of a better word. Moore is more than rude, why doesn't he work to help more people instead of just trying to exspose all the wrongs in our society which most people already know.
Erm, what else would you want him to do? If this is "something which most people already know", why do so many people state how much of an eye-opener it is? Why hasn't there been anyone trying to improve things in the last few years, if everyone knows it's going on? From that perspective, "Sicko" might prove to be the cold shower that might wake up at least someone willing to change things (although it's certainly not going to be Hillary Clinton, for that matter ).
And with all that in mind, I think this is the best way Moore can actually help those people - by exposing those trying to sabotage the entire system from within (i.e. the profit-obsessed insurance companies and the politicians in their back pockets).
</font>[/QUOTE]Well acting on an "eye-opener" is harder than one may think. Especially when there's billions of dollars involved. Just look at the controversy surrounding the american administration atm. So much red tape, so much denial. Everyone may know the truth but no-one is admitting to anything.
