Bowling for Columbine

This morning I watched Bowling for Columbine with my brother. It's a documentary about guns and violence in America. It was fascinating. It mentioned two school shootings and it showed how easy it is to get your hands on a gun. Did you know that the United States has the highest murder rate than any other country? It was completely moving. It also makes you think about how messed up people can be. I mean, I don't think that the U.S. is quite the golden country we say it is. It also made me realize how politically oblivious I am. I did not know that the United States originally helped Saddam Hussein and bought him weapons. This movie was a real eye opener for me. I highly recomend it.
