Letter for Sorry Day

I read the "Bringing them home" raport from 1997 at school today. and I just really felt like apologising for what happened to you yet again. I have always been interested in Australian history, but I have to admit, this changes som things. It just makes me sad realising what a dark period in the history that was. And it makes me sad knowing that it was actually our fault and not for example the British colonies or something. I didn't know how bad it was until today, when i read that raport. i can't even imagine being forced away from my parents. So, yet again, i am so sorry for our mistakes and your stolen generation.

Bowling for colombine

- The movie is about the use of guns in USA.

- In the opening the director of the movie goes into a bank and opens a bankaccount where you get a free gun in the price.

- He's talking to people around The United States and ask them about how they use their guns.

- It's shoccking to see how many actually use guns for protection, and have them in their house loaded.

- He meets up with to students from Colombia who got shot in a school masacre. Together they get K-mart to stop selling ammunition.

- He meets up with a famous man on hollywood hills and talks about the six year old boy who shoot a six year old girl.

- Apparantly, the USA has a very high crime rate even though other countries also use guns ase a protection.

- His conclusions I would say, is that he thinks the USA use guns for the wrong reasons. and that it should not be allowed to buy guns like that freely.

- I learned a lot about the Unites States in that movie. I honestly did not know they were so non- caring about who and where they use their guns.

- It was a good documentary. He had a lot of good points on the usage of guns.
