i finally got down to watching michael moore's bowling for columbine. basically, it is about violence in the United States, in particular, shoot-outs, murders due to the ease of purchasing guns. there are less humour in this as compared to fahrenheit 911, just a couple of cute animation and i love the music in the documentary. it's dark humour. it touched on the columbine high school shootout whereby 2 guys shot over 10 students. i don't want to call it a massacre as someone in the documentary called it. while i think these kids were at fault, there should be triggering factor that cause this abnormal behavior. the media, cos they are so hung up with this slogan 'if it bleeds, it leads', or the rock-and-roll music, marilyn manson, or simply because you can purchase guns and bullets just a footstep out of your house.

but it was heartwarming to see how two boys who were injured in the shoot-out (one was paralysed waist-down, the other could barely stand and had bullets still embeded in him). together with moore, they managed to get kmart to stop selling bullets. it was seriously a damn big achievement

what was fustrating in the documentary was the NRA guy, Heston. after the columbine shoot-out, he went there for a pro-gun rally. after the flint incident (where a six-year old shot a six-year old), he went there again for another pro-gun rally. but i was skeptical about it cos they were too many cuts and paste, just like bush in fahrenheit so i went to look more into it

but still it's undeniable that guns is a major problem in the states. at least 11000 murder cases are reported in a year as compared to 67 cases in Canada, which accessibility to guns are just about the same as the states. Americans are just paranoid over tiny things.. i believe, because of the media. blacks = criminals and all that shit.

moore went to canada and did this little survey, found out that most of the canadians don't lock their door. this canadian said " the americans
