A Telling Documentary

So I watched Bowling for Columbine (links below) earlier. Michael Moore, the anti Bush film maker, featured a lot of the guns that easily available on the streets, the net, anywhere actually. Of course who could forget the tragedy that Columbine(high school) suffered. It was the place where those gun toting teenagers riddled bullets everywhere killing a lot the students. More than the guns, He also high lighted the fact that whenever there's a crime, whatever level of it maybe, it would always be the black men who gets the blame and is incarcerated. He cited some samples in the film. He also featured, the panicked that people dealth with because of the Y2K scare and he mainly(and I think that it is what he was trying to point out) presented that because of the way the government handled the situation, they somehow created a picture of doom come the Y2K event..which of course nothing happened..duh. But basically, the main focal point of the film is what really ails America's society that really pushes them to brink of social disintegration.

I can't really critique the film. Just saw parts of it and it was good. But I still don't like the film maker!
