As far as Michael Moore goes, his films are entertaining. I'm a big fan of Bowling for Columbine and Sicko. Sicko especially.
I like the extreme lengths he goes to show a point. A favourite of mine is taking 9/11 workers to Cuba (an evil socialist place with shity healthcare) and getting free care and low-cost drugs. It's both humourous and heartbreaking simultaneously.
Capitalism isn't perfect. We need regulations to keep greed in check. Yes, yes, greed is good, Gordon Gekko, etc. Not unchecked greed. I refuse to believe that. I don't believe we need the government to run everything. I think the government should stay out of some things.
