Surely, left or right people all agree that what has passed has been throughly lacking in accountability and responsibility. It was tough for Moore to tackle this film because it is an area that reaches out into so many areas, but on the whole he does a very good job. And you cannot doubt that his heart is in the right place.

I'm sure you will get some brainless twits muttering about 'facts', but you cannot really argue with the 'fact' that Americans have been right royally screwed up the bum for a long, long time.

I recommend the film to anyone with a conscience or a pulse. It's a good watch whether you agree or disagree with the message.
The heartless fuckwits would be the politicians, right? Say what you like about people running Wall Street, they're not fuckwits. They are heartless though. Michael Moore will be doing a sequel to this film in a year or ten in which he'll wonder why the government not only bailed the banksters out but didn't bring in any effective regulation and gave them trillions of taxpayer money to play with which eventually led to the future even bigger meltdown that the next film will chronicle.
When I say "fuckwit" it is more a general term of abuse for all those who just don't care about what they have planted. I apply the term liberally to all of those who have helped bring about what has been going on. It's not really an attack on intelligence. Those Wall Street people are clearly no fools, whence the power they are able to exert.
