I got Micheal Moore's Where to Invade Next via iTunes.
And watched it yesterday. It was very eye opening and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I found it amazing how different countries address the same issues and get the results they seem happy with.

1. I bought it this morning but haven't had the time
to watch it yet. I am watching the 11.23.63 mini-series on Hulu.

2. Concur
Saw it when it first came out. Excellent. Good information, challenging, new things I did not know, funny in the right places, serious.

4. It was great.
Americans chant "We're number one" when they really have no clue.
I loved the part in Germany, where he's trying to find a college student who is in debt. They all look at him like he's crazy. Then he says he finally found one & it was an American student who still had $7,000 worth of student loans. He'd moved to Germany to get a free college education. But hey, we can't do that here. ![]() Glad you liked it! I heard MM had pneumonia when it was released & he had to cancel some showings. Too bad. It's such a good movie but it seems like very limited showings. |

7. What is sad is that a number of DU members will criticize the movie
due to their ideology and political preference. And in this country's current military and corporatism rules environment, they are correct. But it doesn't have to be the way it is. And it never should have been allowed to happen.
