Shut Up and Sing
OK, since none of you went to see my last recommended film, Sicko—either because it didn’t conform to your busy schedule, your current political attitude, or your idea of entertainment—here’s my next suggestion: Shut Up and Sing--the story of free speech impugned, starring, yes, The Dixie Chicks. A mix of music and politics, this film as good as documentaries get.

put it on my netflix list, as i have with sicko. but that cover shot of the chicks, it's old dude.
too bad you weren't at the miller abode in casco a couple days ago. was a young lady there (36, 2 kids) who grew up in the states but married a canadian and now lives in waterloo, ontario. she had a not very pleasant story to tell about the canadian health care system and a head injury to her 8 yr. old daughter. all turned out well, but only after they drove to buffalo and paid an american doc to treat their kid who'd simply taken a bad fall off the jungle gym.
she says virtually all canadians with any $$$ at all come south for care when the shit hits the fan. up north the waits are too long and the diagnosis often hurried and incomplete. the system works pretty well for routine physicals and minor things like stitches and streps.
