It's too late to edit and add this but the link is to an hour long interview with Michael Moore before his most recent film opened nationwide.

I think it's great we can see a movie bashing capitalism for only $8 at the local indy theatre.

His story about the health care exec bringing his son to the Sicko showing was pretty powerful.

It gave me (some) hope.

I wish he'd make a distinction between corporatism and capitalism.

"Corporatism has been supported from various proponents, including: absolutists, capitalists, conservatives, fascists, progressives, reactionaries, socialists and theologians."

The problem is that you need more than a 100 IQ to successfully make that distinction.

Actually, I think Michael Moore is very intelligent, which would be intelligent enough to know his audience's lack.
