So, either the title is inaccurate or the trailer is misleading. <br /><br />I enjoyed Sicko pretty well, so I might catch this one. And I'd probably concur with him on his assessment-- except that he probably isn't describing capitalism.Eric Schansberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147388189415035752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323968.post-8891330960182126342009-11-10T20:02:20.186-05:002009-11-10T20:02:20.186-05:00why hope, check it out, unless your not interested...why hope, check it out, unless your not interested in economic issues... <br /><br />as for the name--remember, Moore is a satirist, so the title is completely accurate.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256564770318269688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323968.post-48809143990457112362009-11-10T17:38:40.576-05:002009-11-10T17:38:40.576-05:00I just wish he'd named it "crony capitali...I just wish he'd named it "crony capitalism" or something to do with mercantilism or special interest politics.
