Happy smelly Sicko
My friends Vidushi & Sean got me some Heather perfume while they were in Scotland. I was so pleased.
Saw Sicko the other night. Jesus Christ. Yes, Michael Moore is manipulative and crass and cheap, but this movie gave me chills and made me cry. I will never, ever move the to the U.S. unless I’m a billionaire.
Flaws: Moore didn’t address that Margaret Thatcher actually buggered up health care in the UK, he didn’t aknowledge the problems countries w/ universal health care face, and when one of his subjects mentioned Tommy Douglas, he didn’t delve. Gah! Not only did Tommy Douglas give Canada universal health care, he’s also the grandfather of Kiefer Sutherland!
I’ve had some American friends tell me they don’t trust their government to run a health care system. I guess I see their point, but maybe the people should hold their government more accountable. I don’t know. Easier typed than done, I realize. But after seeing what people in the States, people with coverage, have to endure, it really, really made me grateful that I live here.
I recommend people see it, wherever you live. If you’re Canadian, I would hope it would scare the privatization siren right out of your head.
