Actually I thought *Bowling for Columbine* was very very political -- Moore put the responsibility for that tragedy squarely on the war industry culture which is/was the economic backbone of the community. I seem to remember that the mental gymnastics required to justify that raised denial to a fine art. Of course denial can be a fine art in so many areas of our culture. (or lack of, as Gandhi would say.)

I can't wait to see it. Maybe limited release? another trip to Portland ...
