Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"

I really liked it as well. His minor points were more interesting than his oversimplified thesis centering on fear-inducing media, but it has to be hard to cover the complexity of the issue in a couple hours. I loved the Dick Clark, Chuck Heston segments and thought the Kmart segment was amazing. Moore was on Oprah talking about reasons for amount of US homicides that were not really touched on in the film, including my fave hypothesis, the all-about-me attitude.

"Why aren't there more overtly political movies?"
That must be rhetorical.

Republiophile reactions?..

Fishing?

The subject is guns, so I'm hunting, not fishing.

I haven't seen the documentary, so I can't comment directly on it. If it advocates gun control, then please let me know so I can avoid contributing money to the producers, by renting this film. They can talk about gun control all they want, but I don't want to help them fund their efforts.

His movies are great. Thanks for the endorsement.

Once while exiting a crowded commuter train in Perth Australia there was quite a press of people going from the platform up the escalator to exit the station. When I got to the top there stood a policeman - without a blaster. It immediately dawned on me that his job was to protect the citizens, not to kill them.
