Bowling for Columbine

[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

That's a great movie! I enjoyed it immensely ... including discussing 
it with my friends afterwards and pointing out certain logic flaws. 
Amanda, I thought the only part in particularly bad taste was when he 
left the photo at Charlton Heston's house.

After I saw the movie, I raised a question in HPfGU Chat: Michael 
Moore interviewed two people in a bar in Toronto who both insisted 
that Canadians don't lock their front doors, not even after persons 
undesired had entered their homes and stolen stuff, and he checked it 
out by trying the front doors of a street of houses and did indeed 
find them all unlocked. I was *freaked out* at that idea. 

So I asked in chat, Canadians present, do you lock the front doors of 
your houses? And the consensus was that all, whether USAn, Canadian, 
or British, do lock their front doors, at least *after* having been 
burgled.

USAmerica is a *big* country. You can find plenty of loonies if you 
look for them. What's important is how the loonies illustrate ideas 
common among people considered normal.

I've always thought that the reason that many Israelis are nuts is 
because the nuttiest are transplants from USA (and infect the others).
