SICKO
was fucking amazing.
see it.
it will change you.
and as a result, all I've been doing is reading a good-intentioned, but utterly fatal debate on moorewatch.com, the number one anti-moore site, about how we should go about bettering our health care system.
Ultimately, the entire debate has come down to this:
Conservative- "Fucking commie bastards, we don't want fucking socialized medicare. We can't make money that way. Like hell if I'm going to pay for some one who can't afford health insurance, but hey! We shouldn't charge extra for more coverage, because then we're only saying that the rich are worthy of medical attention."
Liberal- "You're a selfish prick, you know that? Why can't we just be like Britain with their socialized health insurance? Why can't we share the love"
Brit- "I like our health system. It works.... so how do you survive in America, again?"
Conservative- "Commie bastard."
Liberal- "Capitalist Pig."
arrrrrg.... they act like children. All of them. If I wasn't so intent on being a politician and stopping all this milarky, I'ld move to Britain in a second.

Next book inline: The Communist Manifesto.
it's sitting downstairs on my bureau.
but it's from the library, and I desperately want my own copy to mark up with notes and passages and all my ideas, so alas! I must wait.
Instead, I'll start Looking Backward, a big one, but guarenteed to shape my politcal mind set.
it's the second Utopian book I'll have read this summer.
yippee.
and while I'm on the subject,
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH A SOCIALIST UTOPIA?
It's a fucking UTOPIA!
It's perfect!
Everyone's equal!
but nooooo! All I hear is shit about it. Fact is that no one wants to be equal. We want that underdog, that scrape goat! Well I don't! I want that equality and as much as others vouch for our constitutional right to equality, no body in hell wants it!
UTOPIA.
stop being afraid of it. and start reaching for it.
