Michael Moore was pretty funny tonight on the Colbert Report. But I
have to admit that I’m not all that excited about seeing Sicko. I was disappointed with Moore’s last movie and I’m not that happy that Moore decided to ignore those of us without health insurance. The film just doesn’t sound radical to me at all.
Compared to what? The movie’s in hundreds of theaters, released by a
major distributor. Moore’s all over the media. If he’d condemned
capitalism and called for revolution, he’d be on YouTube. It’s
amazing that something as critical not only of US health insurance
but of the ethic of competitive individualism gets this much
attention at all.
