dream what?
somehow my dreams have become strange again. ever since i went back to the club in between northern and southern california at the bottom of the turnpike. now...we all have secret ghost identities again in an apocalyptic world, solid snake tries to solve the mystery of the infected people who aren't really infected but concede to fight back because they think it's over for them, i shove a balloon into a strange toy and it pops out the other end as green spaghetti.
i really liked wall-e. not for the story about a robot who cleans up the world, though that was some good sci-fi, but for the robot love story and strong character development without a scratch of dialog, except for 'wall-e' 'eve' 'plant' and 'directive'
also, for me the fundamental divide in american politics rotates around one basic frame:
is human influenced climate change real?
more specifically, is global warming caused by humans, and is pollution actually a bad thing?
i fall on the side of 'pollution is bad'. ever since i've seen the "story of stuff', i understand it as a cumulative process, not some buffer where the earth cleans it up for you in some fancy ecological dishwasher and poops out clean water and atmosphere.
also, someone pointed out to me that conservatives actually have no agenda. their politicians seem to rely heavily on unresolvable social issues to get elected.
the conclusion: if gay marriage and abortion were successfully banned, the conservative political engine would fall apart.
honestly, a reasonable sacrifice if you ask me.
