Hi Folks
Resuming briefly a thread from many weeks ago; I have to say that now I
have seen on TV the man who seems to have conquered anorexia; movie-
maker M Moore; not the one who was head of the WTO for a while !!
My son hired out a videotape; Moore dealt with the school shootings at Flint
and Columbine, and related matters such as why the USA has 11,500 gun-
shot homicides per annum whereas Canada in particular (and other
countries) with similar TV watching habits and gunlaws had a much lower
shooting homicide rate. Moore didn't do the sums and give the homicides per
million population; it would have helped if he did.
It was revealing that most Canadians he interviewed seemingly didn't
routinely lock their homes and saw no need to, whereas across the border to
their south the population are fed a constant diet of impending doom from
many sources in the media, multiple-lock their homes, and fear many real or
imagined threats.
