Subject: RE: BS: RE-visiting 'Bowling for Columbine'
Have to agree with both Raptor and Strick here...

Yes, Michael Moore monkeyed around with the facts in order to make a more effective anti-gun film...

And, yes, the points Michael Moore made in the film were very good ones in that they exposed some of the ugly underbelly of North American society, which is a society that tends to encourage gun worship in a number of ways...for what? To make money, that's for what.

The film was rather unfair to many gun owners...but it was a valuable statement at the same time, and a wake-up call to American society.

Take a look at all the "shooter" games that are being marketed to kids these days, and you will see that there is something very sick going on out there...and it's all for a lousy buck.
