Saw Bowling for Columbine last night
Advertisements [?]
first of it may seem petty but if anyone knows Mr Moore could they advise him to go on a diet. For the sake of his health, it would be a shame to lose that brilliant man.

Second I really enjoyed the documentary. He didnt come off as knowing the answers to all the questions he posed. And he did try to make some connections that made no sense but ill let that slide. Ive always thought that having guns itself was not the problem, but the American psyche. Sure not giving away guns at banks, and letting any old idiot shimmy into a gun show and leave with a small arsenal would help, but this country sure has a problem with resolving issues in a peaceful manner. All in all I would recommend it to anyone, it will surely make you think.

One of my favorite parts of the movie was when he was interviewing the far right, half insane (arent they all) brother of Terry Nichols. Moore asked him if the 2nd amendment should be limited to prohibit nuclear weapons in the hands of private individuals. Nichols said yes because "there are some whackos out there". The irony was too much.
