Here's an unpleasant anniversary I ran across while doing a bit of poking around in the archive: Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of the school shootings in Columbine High School, which took place on April 20, 1999. :(

alnya, do you know how many laws they broke to get those weapons and commit that terrible crime? (I believe the last count I saw was 19 laws broken.) What makes you think a couple more laws would have made any difference? As was pointed out on the Hardy website, school shootings are a rare thing. You're still more than 3 times as likely to be killed by lightning as you are by school violence. And no, Heston did not say all those things that Moore made it appear that he said. Moore spliced his words together to create completely different statements in some cases. I don't think anti-Moore sentiment has anything to do with his stance on any issue. It has everything to do with the fact that he's deceitful and a liar. Nobody likes a liar.
