I MM is so anti Capitalism why does it cost money to go see his movies? Why aren’t they all FREE? why does he accept paychecks for them?

Are you trying to say that Michael Moore is a closet capitalist who believes he should be able to make money for making films? Isn’t strange that those who hate capitalism the most, are usually the ones who benefit from it the most?

Traverse City itself is center-left. Heavily Democrat or RINO. Bill Milliken was from there to give an idea. It's not a conservative town.

Grand Traverse County is conservative.

I always thought Traverse City is overrated. My old boss used to love to go up there for weekends. I guess its for the outdoor types. Outside of boating and water recreation, there is not much to do to justify a vacation there. I guess because of its remote location they have a hard time finding culinary talent even for the upscale tourists, the restaurants serve rather bland uninspired food.

But, the people are nice, and its got a "cute" feel to it.

Nonetheless, I find it interesting that a radical leftist like Moore would find such comfort there, there is like no "diversity" whatsoever.
