However an edited version of my letter was posted in the Beckley Register Hearld on our around March 4th or 5th. Today, there is a retort to my letter, which I will post below. I will also provide contact info on how to contact the editor as I will find it almost impossible to find the individual's email address that wrote this wonderful piece of literature! (LOL)
First, how to contact this paper if any of you desire, and perhaps a few of you will after ready this Letter to the editor! lol http://register-herald.com/letters/
'Bowling for Columbine' highly educational
In response to Sheila Davis' recent letter .. it was obvious that Davis has never seen the documentary by Michael Moore, "Bowling for Columbine."
This highly educational film brings to light many issues, but the one that seems to stick out the most was guns do kill people ... and our system is set up to make you think guns are good.
If you would have watched this wonderful film, you would have been shocked to find out that people in Canada live with their doors unlocked and there are very few murders with guns. In fact, it shows one of our large cities that is directly across from one of the Canadian cities. The crime rate is almost zero in Canada; the U.S. city has a very high rate of crime.
Davis claims she will not pay the salary of educators through her taxes ... You cannot control where your tax dollars goes. Do you think they will take your tax dollars out of that school system?
My hat is off to the teacher who allowed the students to see the real life with the use of this wonderful film. This film is one of the most requested at video rental stores.
