Brief Note on Bowling for Columbine

Moore thinks it is funny if he makes other, less privileged people, appear stupid. He asks the questions, and gets to be "smart".

He seems to have no concept of class. I write those words with a fresh memory of an excellent interview with Lani Guinier which appeared Friday in ZMAG : http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=10&ItemID=9879 The people he pokes fun at are not privileged members of the society. And they certainly don't make the decision to go to war. Rather, they are the ones manipulated by the ruling elites.

However, that's a perspective beyond Michael Moore.

Yes, I'm a sort of "liberal" too; but with allies like Moore, who needs enemies?

Yes, it's good that he reminded his audience of the aggressive use of military force by previous US administrations..... but that doesn't justify his arrogance or ignorance.
