All five of my guests, none of whom had seen the movie, are SOBBING into coffee cups right now. It's quite an amazing scene.

1. Let's hope they're mad as hell by the end of it
and won't vote for anyone who's plan takes care of insurance company profits over the health of American citizens.

22. Ah.....The corner of Dundas and Spadina in Toronto is bootleg capital of the world.

23. Nope.
Try Pacific Mall in Markham. It's basically a transplant of Hong Kong in suburban Toronto, so it's required to have stores selling bootlegs and porn in plane sight. ;)

Snowball's chance in hell we get a system not run by the insurance companies. We live, fight, give our tax dollars to and die for those that run our corporations.

9. We ordered one, too.
And will host a viewing party at home. We saw the movie about 3 months ago. Had to drive nearly two hours to a city where it was shown. But now, we get to spread the word!

Moore's web site had a link to Amazon the other day. Sale price was $19.95.

11. I'm watching it and am so saddened and envious
I wish I could convince my sister and bro-in-law to watch it. They won't because it's Michael Moore.

I have little doubt I will probably die from lack of health care. I am envious that I don't live in England, France, Canada or similar country with medical care.

13. The most important line in the movie.....
With health care and everything else, who are we? How did our priorities get so bollocksed up?

14. Turns out we're way out of the mainstream of the western world on this one
Market extremists whom no one else would even think of imitating, with healthy doses of hatred and suspicion blocking our ability to bulldoze those who profit when we're sick.

Can't wait to get my own copy. Give your friends a hug for all of us socialists, ok?

21. I was a panelist following its showing on our college campus.
Fielded many good questions. Of course, the audience was overwhelmingly supportive of the film and reform, so it was like preaching to the choir.
