1. Americans' Intellectual Laziness

2. So many choices, so little time. In my opinion, I think he probably
will need to take a break after this... so much tension, attack, controversy (he loves this, I know). He is too overweight: it worries me that we might lose him to health problems if BushCo don't get him first.

4. I suggest
The separation between church and state. Mind you that probably really would get him killed, so on second thoughts maybe I should change my other vote.

5. I think for both liberals and cons, the first subject needs to be examined
Nobody trusts anything in the news today.
I think a hard objective look needs to be made.

and the different department heads. He could get the country to see what bullshit it all is.

9. He said
on Sunday that he thinks his next film should be a light romantic comedy, with lots of car chaces. I think he will be taking some time off.

12. Don't forget THIS movie which has already been made: the Corporation.
THE CORPORATION is resonating with audiences all over the world. The feature documentary analyzes the very nature of the corporate institution, its impacts on our planet, and what people are doing in response. Based on Bakan's book "The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power", the film has been generating popular support from street level to the boardrooms of the Corporate Social Responsibility movement.

Already open in California, wil go to more screens in the next few weeks.

16. He's already announced it
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 07:52 AM by RatTerrier
It's gonna be called "Sicko", and it's about health care in America.

Bummer. I was hoping for one about the news media.

As far as racism is concerned, B4C deals heavily with it. It's one of the biggest facets of the movie.

20. Collect the money!
I just love a successful man like Moore! If this movie is as good as I think it is Mike can just do anything he wants. I am sure he is thinking about his new horizons. Let him bask in his well deserved glow.

30. Both the corporate controlled media AND voter security, machiavellianism
in general in this country. Basically how the various economic and regulatory laws and institutions have changed against the interests of the people even while we've made progress on social issues and the culture war.

35. Democracy and representative government

Moore could show us what it is like in countries that already have proportional and instant run-off voting, and how undemocratic our winner-take-all and electoral college system is compared to other places.
