CITIZEN ALERT v1.230MORE ON SiCKO

Another thing about SiCKO that I think was important was Moore's trip to Cuba with the 9/11 rescue workers. The reception they had is what I would expect from people of any country practically toward people of another country in a one on one situation and that is warm, understanding, inviting, etc. One has to remember that it's usually governments that are at war with one another not their people.

The other important thing I found interesting was the comment from one gentleman who said that the reason things were the way they were in Europe was because the government was AFRAID of the people, and in America its the other way around. It's true, look how crazy France got during those recent protests, look what happened with the election in Spain after that bombing. Look at how Tony Blair or any PM has to debate in British parliament. It's a real fight.

It made me think that unlike old Europe maybe the reason our government isn't afraid of the American people is because no standing President has been dragged out of the White House and had his head chopped off by an angry mob. Think about it. I'm of course not advocating this behavior, but European history can get pretty down right ugly at times. America just hasn't had that kind of revolt by its people yet to scare the government on the straight and narrower.
