Personally I liked Mr. Moore's movie "Capitalism: A Love Story". It challenges the establishment and questions those in power. I'm a young adult, I am getting out of my rebellious stage; I like that.
I am playing favorites and just saying I love that he calls out Reagan. I personally hate how everyone raised in the 80's tries to compare how things are today with the 80's but fail to realize that the situations we've been in have "trickled down" since then. The benefits didn't "trickle down" like Reagan promised, the issues did. And that "trickle" is a big 'ol river now.
I am not a fan of Michael Moore as a person but, I respect anyone who can say something, back it up, and stick by it.
In the movie as well I was taken back the most from the "Dead Peasants" clause for insurance. It is exactly like the Dead Kennedy's song "Kill the Poor". It's shocking that anyone can put a monetary value on a life that involves direct profit where someone is worth more dead than alive.
I'm sorry but the last time people were treated like that an entire royal family was killed and communism became the political structure for Russia, and before that the French beheaded the entire upper class.
I don't know about you but knowing that those rich bastards view my life as worthless until dead makes the French method sound intriguing.
The poor are more powerful
Tyler--Pretty good job with your new entries. Good topics and ideas. Pretty good development, but you have room (especially in your self-generated entries) to discuss and analyze further to create significance.
