This was one of his funniest movies ...

I loved the bit in France with the laundry where Michael sticks his fingers in his ears and says Lalalala - and then the next scene is a government worker doing the new born mother's laundry. Priceless - i almost rolled out of my chair laughing.

The US attacking France out of Fear that Americans might like the way the French live and what they have - not a bad argument at all. And the note that most governments in Europe are afraid of the people unlike in the US.

A little revolution in the US might get the power out of the hands of the top 10% who keep arguing for the American Dream - which very few will ever really live.

Michael's case that there are plenty of things already socialized, libraries, police, fire, education is also correct.

I see a world where the Police operate the same as the US medical system - it would go as follows:

Ding dong - Hi I'm officer Mike of the Miami Metro PD. I see that your 7 year old daughter was raped and knifed to death but I am sorry mam you have only paid for coverage XYZ and under your plan you only get one officer for 15 minutes - me and this conversation has already taken up 3 minutes of your allotted time. Now if you pay $197,000 then we will investigate your daughter's murder. You'll lose your house and car and live on the street but....

"But officer this is a heinous crime that deserves the attention of the police."

"That may be so mam but according to insurance company this is what you get. I'm sorry but I must go to your millionaire neighbor's house - she has the full premium - we are sending 30 cops and an undercover agent for the next 5 years because someone stepped on her prized roses."

"But officer - should this be based on need and the level of crime?"

"No it is based on money - I'm sorry you're lazy and poor but the woman next door who was born into a family of millionaire's and her daddy bought a wing of Harvard that allowed her in and then onto the best jobs - paid the money.

But officer this is crazy - the police should spend their time on the greatest need not on who paid the biggest insurance premium."

"You're time is up - it went one minute over - I won't arrest you this time lady. Sorry about the kid - I hope you paid the body removal insurance otherwise you'll have to pay $22,000 to have her removed. Have a nice day."

That is NO different than a medical system that does not operate 100% on the needs of the people coming into a hospital - it is every bit as absurd.
