As for Moore... yeah... I liked Roger and Me and Pets or Meat more than F9/11. Haven't bothered watching Bowling for Columbine.

I will concede that ones genetic code will predispose some more than others to be greedy, but the major influences would still be surrounding culture. My no means am I saying that environment has more of an influence on our personality than genetics. It's just that greed seems to be so "human" that it would develop in a strictly human setting, which would be the complex societies we live in.

Quinn, you mentioned some animals showing examples of greed, what would those be?

Of the above movies I thought Bowling was the best. It had more of a "flow", like a non-documentary movie.
Of course Moore is biased and one-sided. That's the point. Where else in popular media are you going to find that side presented. The powers that be are so successful at repressing any "leftist" ideals that to find a voice so accessible is rare and should be appreciated. It should also be taken with a grain of salt. No movie, whether documentary or not should be taken as absolute truth. Go out and do your own research.
