I want to see Bowling for Columbine. I suppose I'll wait till it comes out on cable or on video cause I'm just that cheap! But I'm a big fan of Michael Moor's work, even if I do disagree with most of his conclusions and proposed solutions.
One interesting thing I heard about Bowling for Columbine is that he checked gun ownership stats in Canada and found out that they have around as many guns per capita as we do. And yet their violent crime rate is consistently a fraction of ours. Do ya' think it might possibly have to do with the drug warriors who've taken over our government? Maybe?
Anyway, I get the impression that he at least acknowledged in the movie that it might be something other than the right to self defence at the root of the problem. I have to respect that.
To make certain that crime does not pay, the government should take it
over and try to run it
