I realise that Michael Moore is a bit of an extremist. (Btw, he's got a new film coming out about Bush and Iraq..) And anything in the media, regardless of whether it is film, news, etc, always needs to be taken with a grain of salt. But most of what he said about this country is true. I've lived all over the world, have been living in the US for less than 10 years, and I'm still adjusting to so many things. You don't see things like school shootings in Thailand. Granted, every country has its problems, but this country infuriates me more than any other country ever has. On a larger scale, yes, other countries have bigger problems... civil war, etc. But on a smaller scale, this country seems to have so little respect for its people. Guns are the way to prevent crime. "Guns yes, Crime no" as a bumper sticker says. Children grow up with little respect for life and for others. And we, as a country, have the nerve to pass the buck whenever something happens. Kids shoot up a school... it must the music. No, it's the movies! No, its the video games! You never hear "I messed up. I failed to teach my children a clear sense of right and wrong, and ignored the signs that they were troubled!"

Radicals and extremists always take things to the Nth degree, whether it be religion, gun control, government, and the such. I just think Michael Moore showed the country all the things we turned a blind eye to. (And canada sure seems like one hell of a Garden of Eden hehehehe )
