    Sicko

    Go see this movie.
    Quite heart wrenching at times, but overall, very good.

    Really, because it's being advertised as the funniest movie of the year every time I turn around.
    All shrank, like boys who unaware,
    Ranging the woods to start a hare,
    Come to the mouth of the dark lair
    Where, growling low, a fierce old bear
    Lies amidst bones and blood.

    What are the pros and cons of socializing medicine? I watched a cnn report on that movie and was a little taken aback that the U.S. ranks 36 in healthcare.

    If we are 36 then what is causing this?

    Canadian Bacon is the only Michael Moore movie I will ever see. It is in this same vein to which I relate his other movies. Sensationalist, revisionist and subjective documentation. At least Canadian Bacon was written to be funny.

    I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
    I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

    I barely want to touch this thread, simply because of what every socialized medicine debate devolves into, but I'll say this: be EXTREMELY careful in what you take as "healthcare rankings." Not only are the data VERY questionable in their gathering and reporting methods, but most nations do NOT use even CLOSE to standardized rules for some of the most vital or quoted metrics - such as, for example, infant mortality.
    From all my lovers that loved us, thou, God, didst sunder us;
    thou madest thick darkness above us, and thick darkness under us;
    thou hast kindled thy wrath for a light, and made ready thy sword;
    let a remnant find grace in Thy sight, I beseech thee, O Lord.
