I finally got to see Bowling for Columbine last night, a movie filled with uncomfortable facts that millions have seen. The DVD comes with several interviews, and in one, Michael Moore concedes that after watching, most people will resume their normal lives and pretty much forget those uncomfortable facts. Even he couldn't stop from proclaiming the fundamental goodness of the USA. It's an uphill struggle.
