How many listmembers have seen Michael Moore's latest film, "Bowling for Columbine"? I saw it two weeks ago and highly recommend it to every educator, not to mention everyone else in this country who might be the least bit concerned about where we are headed. While the unchecked availability of guns in the U.S. is a major point in the film, the deeper reasons behind the gun mania and the evidence of the levels of fear that have been perpetuated in this country (and its trail throughout recent history) is most startling. It is quite the wake-up call and the issues raised are absolutely huge. It's too bad that it isn't getting a wider release. Unfortunately, too many people are more interested in being entertained than they are in being informed. Apologies if this has already been addressed on this list, but I did search the archives and found no mention of it. This morning on my way out the door I heard that this film will be the topic on today's Oprah Winfrey show. I don't usually watch it but today is one day that I wish I'd set my VCR to record it. I'd be interested in hearing some feedback from the list. -- Laurie ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ always remember you're unique...just like everybody else. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Laurie Hennessey Professional Assistant, Library/Media Resources Eastern Campus Library Suffolk County Community College 121 Speonk-Riverhead Road Riverhead, NY 11901 phone 631-548-2542 fax 631-369-2641 email: hennesl@sunysuffolk.edu =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
