Columbine was a great book to read. I also enjoyed the book "She Said Yes" even though Im not religious anymore I still would suggest people to read it but its not as great as Columbine. I knew this had happened around this time of year but no idea it was on the 20th.
I may check out the book She Said Yes however that really didn't happen.

I read the whole Wikpedia article on Columbine a few weeks ago. Interesting, but disturbing too.
Bowling for Columbine did have some useful information in it, but there was a lot of stuff he did made me scratch my head. He had some some statistics, I think they were gun deaths, but he just used the straight numbers. Of course the United States is going to have a lot more gun deaths, there are so many more people that live here. I'm just a dumb college student and I know that when you use stats like this, the stats would be more relevant if broken down per capita. But I get it, Moore had an axe to grind.

Thats how Moore does it, along with camera tricks, angles, and cutting and piecing things together to fit his agenda and his only!!

Ok thanks, its been a while since I watched it but if that is what it is I have seen no need to again, just for the fact I already gave Moore enough time watching it the first time.

Being a student, I couldn't imagine if somebody just walked in and started blasting, especially not having anything to blast back with.
Like, I sit in lecture class sometimes, and there will be two narrow EXIT doors in front. If somebody walked in the back of the hall (through the bigger doors) and just opened up with a machine gun...do you know how many people they could wax? It'd be gross.
.... These are the things my mind thinks about when I'm sitting in lecture. Judge accordingly.

Sage I always look at my surroundings no matter where I am. I look at the people, exits, space, etc......You just never know in todays world!
