(via NPR news)

The guy in this short article was mugged, offered the mugger his coat, took the mugger to dinner and probably changed the mugger's life forever.

Awesome way to start a weekend.

"head up, eyes open"

Filthy Wealth from the Inside

So, I decided not to go to the theater to watch Michael Moore's "Capitalism". As a ready habitué of the full spectrum of information, I chose not to go not because I'm not interested in what the film has to say, but because I can't see myself paying into what the movie intends to debunk. The irony is just too much.

But in the spirit of examining wealth in this country and around the world, I checked out a few docs today and yesterday; both by Jaime Johnson (an heir of the Johnson & Johnson company). What better way to take a look at extreme wealth from the inside?

"The 1 Percent" (link - Part 1 of 8)
A doc about the wealthiest 1% from the inside.


"Born Rich" (link - Part 1 of 7)
A doc about the children and other heirs of the wealthiest 1% from the inside.


Interesting perspective and I appreciate the intent of Jamie Johnson in putting these docs together. Can't hurt to check it out.

Capitalism in Michael Moore's Cross-Hairs

Amid a number of battles the U.S. finds itself in the trenches of (foreign efforts, health care reform, drug law reform, big pharma, etc.), the questions swirling around the country's economic solvency have started to bring focus away from the symptoms and closer to the root. The place of Capitalism within our Democratic fabric is now within the cross-hairs of filmmaker Michael Moore. Closing in on the opening day of his new film "Capitalism: A Love Story", the filmmaker is making his rounds on the television interview circuit (links below).

I'm conflicted! I want to see the film but I don't want to go to a theater to see it. Why? Well, it's an anti-Capitalism movie. Paying to go to a movie is paying into Capitalism, right? Whether I am pro-Capitalism or anti-Capitalism doesn't matter here; I think both pro- and anti- people will still want to see it either to praise it or debunk it. But most people, whether pro- or anti-, will be going to a theater to watch it. So who wins in this scenario? Pro- or Anti- ? The message gets to the masses (1 point Anti-). The masses pay to get the message (1 point Pro-). Hmm...

Any free screenings going on anywhere? lol
