Sicko

...™

As much as I hate Bush II, I hate Moore more. If he didn't play loose with the truth, it would be a different story.

The trip to Cuba is very funny.

The trip to Cuba was what ruined the movie. He didn't stand a chance in hell of getting those patients into Guantanamo, and he knew it, but did it anyway as a stunt. Seemed to be more concerned with cinematic drama than actually helping sick people.

The rest of the film was great though and I had no problem with it. In this one he's apparently very accurate, even insurance companies couldn't find much wrong with it. I know several people who are financially fucked because of medical bills, and that's just absolutely morally wrong, and if Michael Moore wants to do a movie about it, then that's fine by me.

Being dramatic
to make a point?

oh, boy

I think Moore did us all a service by bringing this up now and cutting through all the xit the insurance lobby puts out. I have struggled against insurance companys and HMO's to get services for people and I owe about $900.00 in medical bills that my insurance wouldn't pay.

Michael Moore may overdo it and get sophmoric at times but he's OK with me.

Fingers.

Ok, w/me too.

Makin' a point is
makin' a point.

Where I used
to work offered
crappy insurance
for a ton of $.
Couldn't afford it.

Where I work now
doesn't even offer
insurance.

Say that gator
under the car
bites my ankle?

I'm fucked.

That’s what you get for not being an illegal alien.

That and I don't
get to have a
nice dishwashing
or landscaping job.

Yeah, in Canada.







What, no word filter?

Jack prolly braked it.

Looks like they are moving into construction work around here. I passed a couple of houses being re-roofed at lunch today. All mesican crews, prolly a dozen of them out there on the roofs.

There's a park near my house, ballfields pool, tennis, soccer, etc...
Every day, all the "undocumenteds" gather at the edge of the parking lot next to the street that goes by waiting for work.
You'll see vans, pickups, landscaping trucks pull up and perform interviews then a few will jump in and off they go for their "undocumented" labor.
I drive by there every Sunday morning on may way to play soccer,I like to slow down a bit so they all look over and think it's a payday, then I just keep driving on.
I'm waiting for a gunshot one of these mornings.

Stop and get
snitty w/'em.

They'll work me over good.
This is the park where a 14 year-old girl,
in a wheelchair,
was raped and beaten.

That was by the good "local" kids though,
not the MS-13 guys that hang out on East Broadway
just across the street.

I remember discussing
said incident w/the Cindy
at the Goth flavored bar
and saying-
"Now, it would have
been interesting if the
guys were in the
wheelchairs."

She chuckled
despite herself.

They'd be rockin' n rollin'

Prolly do a better job at it than the high school dropouts whose job they stole too.

I'm sure they'd make fine soundmen too and I bet WBT has work for them.
