Bowling for Columbine

I just finished watching Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" on Hulu. It was a well made documentary that was missing a few vital things, namely a point. After watching it i'm left with little clue what i should do next. He pretty much just said that America sucks, and the only advice for change he gave was Kmart should stop selling ammo and we should have more positive media coverage.

Here are just a few of the random things i jotted down while watching the second half.

-There is a 13% non-white population in Canada. "That makes them just like us." We have a 25% non-white population. That's not even close to us.

-In Canada I could buy all the live ammunition i wanted. (This totally negates his push for Kmart to stop selling ammo) Besides a Chris rock clip, he never actually made an argument against selling ammo vs guns anyway.

-Moore finds it strange that people have their doors unlocked in the middle of the day while they're home? Where does he live? We don't lock our doors while we're home in the middle of the day in Portland, Or.

His two biggest highlights were completely unrelated to the Columbine shootings. (and he failed to show a relation between them and gun violence.)

-Healthcare & Welfare

-Racism & the media

I get the feeling that Moore assumed that if you talk about three separate issues in the same documentary then THAT is enough evidence to show that they are related.

"This is the bus that she was forced to ride every day." She was FORCED!? Did the police or state force her to be a part of this program? Yet another exaggeration that makes Mr Moore less credible.

And now the Columbine shootings are the fault of George W. Bush!? The shooting occurred during the Clinton administration.

That cartoon is absurd beyond belief. It is pure propaganda, as is the whole

movie.

In the end i'm glad i watched it. I know better than to waste any more of my life or thought on Moore's immature rants. Maybe someone else will make a fact based documentary that will challenge my views, but i doubt it will ever be Michael Moore.
