Scenes From A Special Screening Of Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko’





And then Moore took questions from the floor:

Part 1

The difference between Europeans and Americans: "In France the government are afraid of the people, in the United States the people are afraid of the government".

In Britain, Margaret Thatcher - at the height of her powers - attempted to introduce a poll tax. Rioting broke out in the streets and within weeks she was gone, decapitated by her own party. Bush has dispensed with Habeas Corpus in the United States... and nothing has happened... To Europeans that seems very odd.

In a democracy the government should fear us, it should never be the other way around.



Hat Tip to Crooks and Liars.
