Saw "Bowling For Columbine" finally. How teling that such a simple statement could be so devastating. The impact of the thing for me lay in how mundane it was...really. A guy goes out with a camera and interviews some people...merey asks different questions from the ones being hammered at us daily...gets some clips together others have shot...turns the cameras on a few fools and saints...and blows us away.

He doesn't answer his own question, the one that hovers over the film, "why do Americans kill Americans" directly. He gets us to thinking about it instead. But he's good enough at what he does so he presents us with that "better question" in a way pointing to some interesting possibilities. If he makes anything clear it's that Americans kill people...all kinds and in any numbers whatsoever, like they can never get enough and will manufacture the excuse later. The montage of stats on the number of times and places Americans have gone to "war" is a horrifying exercise in Freedom and Democracy at work...its sleeves rolled up and raring to go. Why wouldn't Americans kill other Americans when they kill people all over the globe? Why would you stop at home? Reminds me of a bumper sticker in San Miguel..."people who abuse animals rarely stop there". Well...people who kill people and who get ready to kill people rarely stop.

Puritanical America is at war against Americans...Drug Wars conducted by Drug Czars...a War on Poverty...a War On Welfare Cheats...a War on Crime...and people get killed and maimed in wars...families get broken up, children are left orphans, wives are widowed, people are hurt. America has declared war against itself...against the US Constitution against the Fourth Amendment and others. To Heston and the boys the only valid part of the Constitution is the one they think allows them to own assault rifles and machine pistols...the rest of the crap in that document has merely served the interests of degenerates who would be free and equal under the Law.

Why WOULDN'T Americans kill Americans...they kill everybody else? When Christians in Europe killed every Jew and Muslim child they could get their hands on, they turned on Christian "heretical" children and killed them. Killers kill...and Christianity got its start when the first innocent was murdered...in order to benefit his "devoted followers"...why would you ever stop after that? Who doesn't want just a few more goodies?
