Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story is anything but - he might have had a crush on capitalism early on, yet anyone who thinks that the two have been on friendly terms for a while hasn't been paying attention.
| what's interesting, tho, is -other than the difference between these two perspectives on Moore, both reviewers see the movie through much the same lens.
i haven't seen it....probably won't....but i was glad to see that two people, at least, who did see it where able to acknowledge that it wasn't just some liberal "manifesto" against capitalism.

#20 | Personally, I've mostly though of Moore as a Leftist opportunist/scumbag.
Or ......Leftist scumbag opportunist
or........scumbag Leftist opportunist
Well....you get the idea
But what makes a blogger/geneticist an authoritative source on something Moore produced?
Why should any one care what Massimo Pigliucci thinks about when the topic isn't about his profession? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Pigliucci

#25 | I agree with Jack. Moore is a polarizing figure, and his pro-communist, anti-American movie is an ideal subject for CD.
Thread-driver ..... MOVE ... THAT ... THREAD!!!
