I immediately became a Michael Moore fan after watching the movie "Sicko" today. It's a documentary that compares USA's profit-based healthcare system to the rest of the western world where there is a Universal "free" healthcare system.

He's not afraid to point out the weaknesses and how people make use of illnesses and diseases to make money. For example, at the later part of the movie. The hospitals, who have to constantly turn down patients because they do not have enough money to pay for the treatments, just hires a taxi to dump these patients somewhere else where they may get free treatments set up by private organisations. How sick is this?

Also, they have a segment where Michael Moore took a few 911 volunteers (whom, by the way, gave up what they were doing to dig people out from the 911 rubble. By the end of the first day, the air around the site was so polluted that many of these volunteers developed severe health problems after the clean-up. Despite that, they weren't able to claim medical expenses because they were not "under the government's" payroll of volunteers. Well, Michal Moore (MM) took them to Cuba (the country which America went against and constantly fought), where there was very very cheap healthcare service. Well, they went there and Lo and Behold.... medications dropped from $195 in the States to 5 cents in Cuba. They went to the nearest hospital and was immediately taken care of. All they needed to give was their NAME and their D.O.B. Hospital bills? It's a matter of a few dollars. And at the end... the fire department of the Cuban state they stayed in honoured the volunteers.

Anyways... "Sicko" was a really really nice movie. You should all watch it. It's more of a documentary but if you could see what he's trying to point out... It is and will be worth it.

P.S At the end of the movie.... he donated 10k to a person who runs an Anti-Michael Moore fan website with a anonymous name for him to send his wife for cancer treatments.

P.S.S Inmates who are housed in Guantanamo Bay, USA, gets immediate around the clock medical treatment for any kind of injuries. These inmates are some of the world's most notorious terrorists. Well.... hey. It may not be that bad after all.

Anways.... Here's Metalingus by Alter Bridge.

For some WWE fans.... it's Edge's theme song.

The sleepless nights continue...... Zzz

Alter Bridge - Metalingus (Vid in the middle)

I've been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back
I'll fight to remain:

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind



On this day its so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive

Fear will kill me, all I could be
Lift these sorrows
Let me breathe, could you set me free
Could you set me free

On this day I clearly see everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day its so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
