After watching Bowling for Columbine, I can't watch another Charlton Heston movie. Nevermind that he was Moses and is an oscar-winning actor - the man has loaded guns in his suburban, gated, most likely very highly secure home in LA. He says he feels safer that way.
Somtimes I just don't understand our "friendly" neighbours to the south.
Go and rent the movie - you'll discover a man - one-time cohort of Timothy McVeigh - who sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow (again, because he feels safer that way), a woman who thinks that there are mostly white people in Canada, which she gives as her explanation as to why we don't have as many gun-related deaths here, and banks selling firearms...things that make you go hmmm...
While you're at it, go see Fahrenheit 9/11, another great Michael Moore film.
Mr. President, shame on you.

I wonder if I'm going to get tagged by US Intelligence for saying that?

It wouldn't surprise me if you did...after all they're paranoid down South.
Where they find security or comfort in keeping a loaded gun underneath their pillows, I find comfort in the fact that I can leave my door unlocked at all times and not have to worry that my neighbour is going to shoot or rob me.
And can someone explain to me why there's so much crime related news in the US? Isn't there anything else on the news that's worth listening to?
right after 9/11, all the US airports had these national guards or whatever standing at the security stations. Probably new recruits, some lookin' like they'd barely hit puberty, in fatigues holding huge guns. It freaked me out so I dealt with it by trying to make them laugh. It wasn't hard. They'd been standing there for hours in the same spot looking straight ahead and holding that big huge gun.
Good idea! I'm actually going to NYC soon, so I'll try to be friendly to the guards :)
