Except Groj, I watched BfC, before I knew the scope of the deception involved, then I learned... It was a very disturbing thing to know that someone who won an Oscar for best documentary, did so for this... I wonder to what standards we could hold the academy then... Then again, at one time, every studio in Hollywood (including the B Movies) could nominate a best musical score entry. That resulted in some
bad nominees in that category, including films with no score at all! I find that funny. I find what Moore received, and what Moore did at the Oscars an example of blatant political leaning from the institution, though I'm willing to admit as much that it cinematically floored the other documentaries of 2002, though if it had to go up against Marc Singer's Dark Days, for example, I doubt it could have won.

You need to visit the place. So that's two on your list. Australia and New York. Surely you can come and visit New York. It's only a few hours away right? Then you could see for yourself how ineffective those gun laws are.

Answer the damn question, how come gun crimes, not counting posession as a charge, and violent crime, have both gone
up after the legislation was enacted, despite the fact that the relative factors were about the same? Being that the only independant variable here happens to be the firearms themselves, I'm inclined to say that criminals were more inclined to prey on unarmed civilians than armed ones. Let's face it, getting shot is hella-messy.
