Finally saw
Farenheit 911 today. Me and one other person. For twelve or thirteen dollars
the Marina Theatre just played away, to all but two empty seats. Economics of
this makes me worry, about how much money they are making on a full house to do
this. Powerful movie.
We got to see lots
of clips that didn't make it to American TV. Lots of good questions about what
the A team is doing there handling the reins of our carriage. Rest of
presidential campaign boiled down to one side saying you are evil and immoral
and other side saying you are heartless robbers. Clear that original idea of
political parties, formed when country was small, uneducated, with no means of
instant communication, no radio, no internet, no tv, etc. polarized to make
things simple i.e. black and white, no longer makes sense. Neither
"side" clearly has solutions to the changed world economy, the mix of
cultures and races world over, ease of movement between nation states, changing
economies from agro to mfg to service, etc. changing family and economic
structures, so they fall back on what is safe, name calling. Screaming and
hiding now has replaced problem solving. We are all in for a rough tide during
the next 20 years or so.
