To check up on what I was saying, I did a search to find the traditional meanings of left versus right. One such definition can be found here. Interestingly enough, if MM is a capitalist, he is also on the "right" side of the scale
Fahrenheit 911 - Michael Moore
[QUOTE=RandomThug]Your right the more we label the harder it is to find a middle... so I'll agree MM isn't a leftist bomb thrower. MM is a capitalist who knows what is going to sell right now.... and thats his version of the truth.[/QUOTE]

The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations David Friedman

Moore has portrayed a culture of guns equivalent with a culture of violence, but the facts contradict that, as the site I link to points out.[/QUOTE]

Michael Moore's statement in the film is not that gun culture is equivalent of violent culture. <snip>[/QUOTE]
This is actually an important point of BFC, and I think it needs repeating so it dosen't drown easily.
MM dosen't equate guns with violence or a violent culture. He poses the question why there is more gun violence in America then in other countries, for instance Canada which has more guns per capita. (even if his figures are slightly off).
He then places some hypothesis as to why this problem exists.

Here in the US it never ends, no matter which side is in office. From when I started paying attention to the parties here in the US (1989) both sides have did their best to bash, maim and tear apart all. Every now and then one will come along who doesn't try this, but this person will fade to the background once the mud starts flying.
I guess they think the louder they hollar the more people will listen...but IMHO people just forget easier. Iraq will follow in this path, just like Afgahistan did in the late 80's, early 90's.Then in 10 to 20 years a group who got trained in Iraq will fly something into something and the blame will start again.
repeat and repeat...
