re: Farenheit 9/11 I have not read the reviews or the comments by "the informed".
Part of the Columbine shootings was about bullies. And the way they are treated. If you are a bully and captain of the football team, excuses are made. Often.
If you dress different or wear your hair long. Or never go for a frosty drink with the IN croud. or are fat. or skinny. or ......
The victims decided to stop the shit and this was the method available and visable to them.
The movie points to the gun crazed stupidity of parts of our society.
But you are right. I am willing to be told I am stupid about something and have it shown to me. But I reject the constant maneuvering for another angle at my fragile ego. I can work those out.
Others are probably sensitive in the same way. Or similar ways. Or.
Rose is reading Odd Girl Speaks Out. It is about bullies. My last three years in High School were at a military (Army) school in Germany. We all had access to guns (if we really stopped and thought about it). Hell, we had access to tanks. But our training was vastly different from ........ maybe not so different.
I will have to sit down and watch the movie, again.
Peace
