Related: About this forum'What Is It About Us as Americans?': Michael Moore on Piers Morgan Tonight, 7/24/12 - Part 1
&feature=youtu.be"I think that both conservatives and liberals are half right, each of them. The conservatives when they say guns don't kill people, I would alter that to guns don't kill people, Americans kill people. The left, liberals, believe that if we just have more gun control laws, all the problems are going to go away. Well, I don't think so. It won't really get rid of the larger problem. What is it about us that wants to do this?" -- Michael Moore
Mike was interviewed by Piers last night, he stated that 80% of the the gun deaths, in 23 of the richest countries combined happen right here in the US.
Hope you find it as interesting, I find Mike as always very compassionate & wise.

Please post them. This is one of the single best post-Aurora shooting discussions I have heard.

(53,661 posts)1. Thanks and here is Part 2:
We must look beyond the immediate, the technical. Look at WHY we do what do, believe what we do. Get to the basics again, not the slogans, the egotistical winning. There is the problem, there is the healing and the solution.
Or we can keep scraching the itch in the soles of our feet from the outside our shoes, and never get it done, never become what we were meant to be.
JMHO.
