Will WE do SOMETHING? ... anything?

"I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he can make a buck off it.
Well, I'm the rope. I hope. I'm part of the rope. And they [the corporations] also believe that when people watch my stuff, or maybe watch this film, or whatever, they think that, you know, they'll watch this and they won't do anything because we've done such a good job of numbing their minds and dumbing them down. People aren't gonna leave the couch and go and do something political. They're convinced of that. I'm convinced of the opposite. I'm convinced that a few people are gonna leave this movie theater or get up off the couch and go and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands."

-Michael Moore in "The corportation" (NOT one of his movies, by the way).
