I wish we on the left had some kind of insidious longterm movement to make America into a fully functioning social democracy, just like how conservatives have had an insidious longterm movement to turn America into a Christian autocratic theocracy.
At this point, short of violence and other immoral things, I don't give a F how it looks. We just need to get it done, and if we get it done, our nation and everyone in it will be so much better off.
I wish the left had an evil genius like Karl Rove or Steve Bannon to help us out with this. |
There's somewhat of an equivalent in law school -- it's called the American Constitution Society. But, like with most left-ish things, the umbrella's a bit too small to cover all the varied constituents -- so little gets *done* and it becomes more of a thing on your resume. This isn't to say it does nothing, but it's nothing comparable to the actual machine that is FedSoc. |

Cut, sorry for the delayed movie responses - they're comin'. Busy at work combined with Westbrook bs and the hell of recent politics have taken me out of the movie mindset at the moment. |

You're Asian, right? I think you said that before. Assuming you may be accustomed to durian after eating it as a young person, do you think it smells how Westerners think it does? It's one of the few things Andrew Zimmern can't eat and this is a guy who has eaten a plethora of animal genitals and chitterlings. There's a hotel somewhere in Asia that had a sign stating that it was a durian free zone. Prolly because Westerners stayed there.

Thank goodness that my filipino in-laws are also repulsed by durian fruit, as I am. I had the misfortune of being near it once.  |

Most of us talk to ourselves. Is it time to seek help when we start to answer ourselves?

No, only when you argue with yourself and lose.
