If you haven't seen Bowling for Columbine, do so ASAP. It's fucking amazing.

I want to see it, but I'm considering a boycott. Unless someone can assure me that nothing was interjected by the director.

It is a great movie. Even if you hate Moore, you should see it anyways simply as an experience.

It looks like an anti-gun polemic but I'm told it's more of a look at how fear is so pervasive in our lives. While I can sort of agree to that, I also don't want to contribute to someone who's just trying to whip that fear into an attack on Constitutional liberties...
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Contrary to popular belief it is NOT an attack on guns. Not once does Moore advocate restricting guns, rather he discusses the problem of fear in our society.

Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.
