Please, please, please go see "Bowling For Columbine." It's Michael Moore's new movie. I'm pretty much brain dead right after writing essays for hours, but I went to the movie tonight with one of my roommates and really....enjoyed (?) it. It's not a fun, cheerful movie -- no surprise considering the title -- but it certainly makes you think about the Second Amendment, the NRA (boooooo!), and America's obsession with firearms. If I weren't obsessed with becoming a physician, I would seriously considering working on public health issues relating to gun violence, perhaps at an organization like the Violence Policy Center.

Shame on the NRA.

And thank goodness for the hard work of the Montgomery County Police Department -- the sniper nightmare is over.
