Capitalism: A Love Story

dude and i went to see it last nite - expecting the theatre to be crowded, but not at all. (i guess 3 theatres playing it every hour helped)
it was good. somewhat slightly better than i expected, but i knew what to expect. i walked out of the theatre feeling exactly as i expected to: frustrated, upset and most of all, helpless.
we told them NOT to vote for TARP they didn't, then went into a meetign and did it anyway. moore starts out the film saying the top 1% fear the voting power of the bottom 99%. why? he implied that out vote "for change" is going to be the resolutuon to all of this. that saintobama is really going to change everything. he was also careful to complete his movie and not include any of the status quo that has been evident in the past month(s).
and as with all of michael moore's movie, i walked away with a head full of shit! too much information! EVERYTHING is fucked up and wrong! he segueues from one issue to another after another after another! what do i do?! do i slip the airline pilot a $20 next time i fly? give him a sandwich? do i tell my sister to squat in her forclosed home until "they" product paperwork? do i ake calls (that worked out well; see: TARP) do i picket? where? at skank of america? do i have a sit in at the nearest mortgage company? what the hell do i do? where do i start?! i already "bank" through a credit union. i have no intentions of ever owning a home, so i'll never have to worry about making a bad reinvestment decision on a 2nd mortgage. i am certainly in no position to play the stock market any time soon...so where does that leave me? a single 1/2 cuban, female in california? i cna volunteer at my local homeless shelter, or women's center, right? that will at least make me feel like i;m doing soemthing to immediately help someone, somehow. especially since the governator cut funding completely.
rome is crumbling. the greed is too deep, the corruption is spread too far. the man to change is on the take, and he appointed all of the heads of the banks that destroyed "this great nation" to continue with the destruction.
i suppose the religious zealots don't care because of their end times teachings. what makes a human need to be right? are they going to turn to the damned, the jews, those who were not born again and stick their tongues out and say 'i told you so!' -? 'we were right and we get to go to heaven! you don't nyah nyah nyah.' that's not very christian like, is it?
headlines today read that there will be no change - things will go on as they are, we will bail out more, there will be no failures. health insurance is mandatory, but their is no regulation on cost. you HAVE to get healthcare - and the insurance companies will dictate the price. or else what? you don't get treated if you go to ER? they'll throw your sick bleeding body in jail? how can i stop my tax money from being used for bailing out banks? dude say move to another country. sure - but you can't STAY there. you can't go to the french consolate and claim diplomatic immunity because the US is raising your taxes to pay for something you don't support.
although, i do have relatives in spain....
