Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

Lots of good information here, mostly about how one percent of the population break the financial rules the rest of us follow, getting away with it by creating the rules in the first place.

I learned several things: pilots are paid almost nothing, never voluntarily leave your home in a foreclosure, and that there are still a few Washington politicians who care about doing good.  But all was nearly undone by Moore's sophomoric antics.  A citizen's arrest?  Driving an armored truck and taking money bags to the bailout banks for repayment?  Crime scene tape around suspect companies?  Come on, Michael.  Your message is strong -- you don't need tricks to sell it.  Grow up.
