Michael Moore's film Bowling for Columbine is an extremely powerful editorial on the culture of fear and violence we as Americans live in. I literally had to laugh at some of this to keep from crying. This film transcends the usual Liberal vs. Conservative arguments and asks us all to just be human beings, show compassion for one another. The film targets politicians of all parties, presidents, (both Bush and Clinton equally get criticized), and war-mongers of all stripes, and says things that need saying. I think this is an important film that too many will write off as "Liberal," but I think it's more "Humanitarian." I recommend that everyone watch it with an open mind, even the right-wing Bush-ites, and really think about what it says.

Although Kong supports gun control, and many other "liberal"...

I think what Kong wrote about Moore is pretty much correct.
