Unrelated to the Fortis example. Listened to an hour of Michael Moore on local NPR this morning and while I'm sure Capitalism: A Love Story will present many very valid criticisms of capitalism (capitalism--though this is true, in my opinion, of any of the alternatives as well--is very much the definition of evil) in general and example of corporate malfeasance (people frequently get to suck and it scales up quickly when people have money and power) specifically I must say I found his professed view of a utopian economic structure mostly bat**** insane in that he seemed less than willing to admit that it was unobtainable without complete central control of the economy (though even if that were accomplished I don't agree with him it would work the way he thinks).

But hopefully the movie makes his case better than he did on the radio.
