    REJECTED LRT ROUTES Another line we considered using but ultimately rejected was Bay street as there are too many residential areas along that road. For instance, from Aberdeen avenue to Jackson street we noted that there is an array of Condos and homes. Furthermore, it is a one way road with only two lanes, meaning that there isn’t enough room for a LRT, construction would have to include first widening the road then putting in the LRT, access to the road would be virtually cut off during the

    How Michael Moore Makes His Arguments in Bowling for Columbine Michael Moore in his latest documentary, 'Bowling for Columbine', has aimed his camera directly between the eyes of our American culture. Using the school shootings of 1999 in Columbine and Flint as a starting point, Moore documents the fear and hypocrisy that has come to define this American culture. I'm going to avoid discussion of the specific material presented in this moving film; I feel no need to reinvent

    Bowling for Columbine, a film by Michael Moore tries to bring some very important points to the foreground of American culture and to some degree succeeds, however, by manipulating different things in this movie it makes it hard for me to totally agree with what he has to say. One point Mr. Moore and I do agree on is that racism, specifically against African American males is still very alive in America. Also, I agree that the media tries to find a quick and easy scapegoat to

    Anthony makes to be within the people and it gives a sense of himself lowering his high status to be one with the people and being a regular Roman instead of someone with influence. Secondly, just the way Brando talked I felt was much more human than Charlton Heston who was Mark Anthony in the 1970 version and Keith Mitchell who played Mark Anthony in the BBC version. Brando started much stronger and with a fiery passion when he began, he asked for their ears and he expected them to listen. He also seems
