Well crew, I'm winding down tonight, checking out my usual nightly routine of Baseball Tonight, David Letterman, Jon Stewart's Daily Show and Keith Olbermann's Countdown and I got to thinking...
You know when I get to thinking, it's usually something way over my head, but I figured I'd lay it on you anyway. Is Michael Moore's new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story going to be worth seeing on an intellectual level? There are many who think that Moore is an absolute clown, while there are others who think the man is a genius. I tend to waver, depending on what he's saying. However, his recent quips with health insurance have been particularly eye opening for me. Here's a guy who has no fear in putting everything on the line, simply because that's what he's been doing his whole life.
This fact simply amazes me. We, as people, often tell others around us that people they don't care for don't affect them. That people can't get to them unless they are integral parts in their lives. For the most part, this is a charade. If people say it, and even go as far as believing it, all people have affects on their lives, however small it may be. I believe this to be true for approximately 99.8% of the world (give or take .1%). For Michael Moore, people outside of his close group have no effect on him. He will be admired and hated by millions and that does not bother him one bit. He will go about his life in the exact same way. He's done enough to prove that fact, and he will keep proving it until the day he dies.
