We're all in the same profession and should stick together on this. Or, at the very least, argue about the facts of Moore's movie and not divisive ideology. Why quibble over a word?
Perhaps there are some truths in the movie, but that doesn't negate the fact that Moore is a d-bag.
Politics will always be a tug of war between conflicting sides. The problem is that most folks lack a basic understanding of the macro system and what causes the current system (flawed as it is) to operate. Too many people are voting on feelings and looks and ability to give a smooth sounding speech (regardless of content).
