Bowling For Columbine hasn't improved America, but projected a false image of America. One is given the sense that Americans are a bunch of fringe-lunatics on the edge and ready to snap at any moment, that all gun owners are racist twits etcetera ad infinitum ad nauseum ad absurdum. Moore is a salesman, pure and simple. He doesn't care about the American people any more than John D. Rockefeller or James Pierpont Morgan did. He wants money, and selling people on 'radical' ideas based on shock-u-mentary styled pretenses happens to be big business.
It's as George Carlin said:
"The biggest industry in America today is the manufacturing, packaging, distribution and sale of bullshit. High quality bullshit, 100% pure American Grade A bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless."

Ignorance of a bunch of people an ocean away?
*THIS* is why America has a bad image over there.
Interesting quote usage, by the way. I doubt Georgie himself would take either side in this debate, however.
