Tonight about 75 people turned out to watch Michael Moore's new film "SiCKO" in Vilas Hall. The room was packed, people lay on the floor (reminiscent of 3rd grade indoor recess), and the popcorn was chowed down in minutes.
The movie was excellent, Mr. Moore's best in my opinion. But now it's your turn. What are your thoughts on the film? Post them on the comments section and let's get the conversation going.
Thanks to everyone who came out tonight and made tonight such a huge success. Remember to check out the State Government Forum on Monday night at 7PM in 2120 Grainger Hall. In the meantime enjoy the game on Saturday and Go Packers on Sunday!
Forward.

If Michael Moore likes socialized medicine so much, why does he still live in America? Obviously because we STILL have the best healthcare in the world.
12:25 am - Did you see the movie tonight? What evidence do you have that says we have the best healthcare system in the world? Why do you think we are in the top 10, or even in the top 20? We have a fragmented system where the rich are provided for and the poor, and not so poor are not covered for.
You ask why Moore still lives in America? Living in America does not mean you cannot criticize America. There are issues like - environmental protection - where America is not a forefront nation. Following your logic, since I criticize our country for not following France or Great Britain, should I still be allowed to live here? Freedom of speech is a tenant to our Democracy - let's here Michael Moore out before we write him off.
That being said, there were bias parts of the movie tonight. The "average french family" left me wondering quite a bit. I was not impressed with his Clinton bashing either. While she does collect from HMO lobbyists, Gore collected from numerous pollutants and energy companies on his senatorial, vice-presidential and presidential campaign trails. Now look at his efforts fighting these same conglomerations. Yet, I feel this was Moore's best film yet.
