Who is Mikey Moore, and why does he look like a cross of my late grandmother, the pillsbury dough-boy and Jabba-the-Hut with a stupid baseball hat on?

Moore theorises that the Columbine killers were inclined towards murder because their town is home to a Lockheed-Martin weapon-making facility. The plant in question actually builds devices that launch TV satellites.Missle. Launch vehicle. What's the difference :)?

Good to see some writer take issue with the leftist mindthink that says "everyone must see this movie".
There are some critics who claim that this film should get "Best Picture" at the Oscars. While I hardly agree with the sentiment, I must say that it is more worthy of "Best Picture" than "Best Documentary" as it is a work of fiction.

Is it me, or does Moore exemplify the Ugly American he so loves to go after? Fat, rich, crude...etc.

I actually thought Bowling for Columbine (which I did not see) makes a very good point (even if Moore has to stretch the truth to make it). As Mike tells it, these kids preferred to bowl over being just passable members of society! How far have we slipped when bowling is the highlight of a kids life? Especially in a world of Nintendo, DVDs, Napster, the internet, virtually free sex, etc. when every whim can be met easily. All these kids wanted was some attention and a little order in their sad lives. Yea, it was gun. Riiiight.
The libs have some explaining to do regarding how bad they have fouled up our schools.

Good to know that some conservative Aussies know the truth about Moore's depiction of America.

Millionaire Moore who is to working class as French is to resistance, despite once spending one entire day on the Buick assembly line in his hometown of Flint, Michigan
It wasn't an entire day. Ben Hamper wrote that just before Moore-on left for San Francisco he visited the line. Showed up in his Honda, hung around for a bit, and left. This is his (at least former) friend talking.

Bowling for Columbine... I was just led by the hand to the movie by an extremely liberal friend of mine. She brought me along with a big smile.
Afterwards, I had a few questions for her, like, "should the US have let the USSR take over Afghanistan?"
"Do you think instructions on flying jumbo jets or US air traffic schedules were included in the Afghan rebel training program?"
"Would the mother of the 6 year old that shot the girl been a better role-model if she had turned down an opportunity to work, or if she had lived on the street?"
"Do you think good business ideas like preventing consumers from buying handgun ammo had anything to do with KMart recently filing for bankruptcy?"
... someone already made the point about the whole "we don't use titans as weapons any more" thing.
I must admit, I doublechecked this stuff. I know it's cheating to cite actual Facts. I hope everyone can forgive me.
