I personally think he should be respected by "your kind" in that he is trying to express his opinions instead of put his head in the sand. Your kind being defined as someone who, um, thinks and speaks coherently on subjects of importance to you. I don't know which movie you guys think shot holes in gun ownership and promotes gun control but I all remember from "Bowling in Columbine" (or whatever it is called) is that the guns aren't the problem. It was the media's over-hyping EVERYTHING that made the problem so bad as well as not letting kids deal with their problems on their own. It was our culture of over sensationalism added to our over protecting the children the spelled disaster. I'm not willing to re-watch the movie if, in fact, I have a completely twisted view of it because frankly, I like my perspective. And who can endure to watch a Michael Moore movie twice? But I might listen to your counter argument. I listen to what Moore has to say like I listen to Rush Limbaugh. There is truth down there somewhere but only someone listening with an open/skeptical mind will hear it. Mostly I try to ignore them though--there is only so much idiotic blather from, well, EVERYONE that I can endure. Off to watch your other links. ;) I’ve seen a bunch of Michael Moore movies.
