Saw Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine last night. Though I’m not finding Stupid White Men as funny as its cover thinks I will, Moore’s dramatisation persuades me of the importance of Glassner’s Culture of Fear analysis. In the movie, Moore observes that Canadian politicians talk funny; he misses the combative rhetoric of American leaders. The US has its War on Drugs, War on Poverty, War on Terrorism; Canadians just have programmes and policies, and leave their front doors unlocked.
