normally, i prefer not to have an opinion on the general discouse that which is the US of great A/American Cultiure but after seeing Bowling for Columbine i have to say us a few words. Firstly, it’s a great movie on so a lot of levels because it’s not your typical documentary. I haven’t seen any of mike’s stuff before but between the humor, guts and glory of it all, the questions he brings up are indefinitely meaningful. He offers a number of plausible options as answers but I keep waiting the final irony of it all. I guess it’s always been my bais that the answer to the world’s problems isn’t found outside of yourself. certainly we need to be aware in order to act, but i don’t think there’s too many people out there that actually thinks the world isn’t fucked to the degree of a great farce.


certainly, the problems and the fears of the nation is so overwhelmning that you don’t know where to begin to fix the problem. there are so many dependencies of systems upon systems that need to be address that the task becomes an exercise in working the system. maybe if you could even throw out the system by some brilliant unfathomable exercise; the reality is that the root of fear will still exist. i guess i see too much parallel in the problems of the world in to the problems of human nature. You can fix all the external symptons that make up the “problem” with drugs, a vacation or another significant other, but most people will still die afraid because they lived the lives of quiet disperation (H. threaou). so, what’s the point of all my ramblings? if fixing the external isn’t my answer and fixing the self requires too much effort, then how do i live with myself? faith. in the progress of human nature. we are condemn to repeat ourselves until we grow tired of it and it will take more than a million lifetimes.
