Although Moores films are usually so terribly skewed that it's hard to take them serious, they're still very entertaining and thought provoking. I can't wait to witness yet another period of Republicans foaming at the mouths and trying to destroy the guy

He's a bit of a nut-job, and definitely does skew things in the direction of his viewpoint (pretty damn unfairly, actually), but Roger and Me is a fantastic film.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

His methods may be unfair, but in an insane system like America (at least seen from Europe), I think his methods are fair. If he doesn't make it all into such a big farce and willfully ignore "the finner details" then how else he going to get his point across unless it falls upon deaf ears.

I'd love to see a segment from him about the current American health care debate.
