mr40 -- my own thought -- in particular in person, on shows/in interviews as well as in the occasional events in his personal/public life, and also to a considerable extent in his attempts at blogging (which never really went anywhere, haven't been anywhere on my regular radar except only for a brief while years ago), Moore has all along been a bit of an unwarrantedly self-righteous holier-than-thou crackpot/blowhard/jackass, to put it politely not particularly articulate, often conceptually muddled if not entirely lost, given to not-well-thought-out dully-ideologically-driven declarations/rantings/histrionics -- and in any event he's hardly any 'star' or leading representative of the liberal/progressive side of things here and now, hardly of any particular great influence or relevance -- if indeed he ever did have quite that sort of a status

he has, has had, his talent, which has always been much more about just spotting something ridiculous/absurd and shining a bright and sardonic light on it than it's ever been about then engaging in or leading any real further thought about whatever it is -- and along the way he's made a few good, even impactful, documentaries, and accordingly been successful financially -- and whatever kind of a guy Moore may be, whatever he may well-enough or not spout, it is true that once a person has more than a dozen or two million bucks in wealth, in particular wealth derived from income earned from discrete projects like movies rather than wealth derived from income from/ownership of major/controlling stake(s) in some ongoing business(es) (whether or not publicly-traded), it really does become difficult to park all that wealth without having some part of it parked somewhere in ultimately diversified market holdings via index/mutual/hedge funds or other such ('private banking') investment vehicles
