My Hair Is On Fire, Too...
Well, I just got back in after seeing "Capitalism: A Love Story" and like FlowerChild, my hair is on fire.
In the space of 2 hours and forty minutes I went from the "baby steps" I was encouraging earlier today to wondering if Chicken has pitchforks in bulk, or if I need to buy my own. At this moment, I'm ready for a revolution.
Now, I need to say, I have never been a Michael Moore fan. He has always been the face of the "libruls" in America to me, and not someone whose opinion I even wanted to hear, let alone ever thought I would agree with. Now he is my new hero.
The film is simplistic, but seems to be pretty accurate. I couldn't findmuch anything to disagree with, and found myself cheering (out loud, mind you) in the theater. My husband, the Libertarian, didn't even jab me in the ribs. Seems as if he couldn't find much to disagree with, either.
On the way home we had a discussion about Obama's Presidency and we pretty much agreed that he needs to step up to the plate and start cleaning house in Washington. If it makes him a one term President, so be it. In addition to the mundane things he has to do like get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and get us free from our dependence on foreign oil, and get our country back to work again, he needs to fulfill his promise of change. His promise of hope. If he doesn't, I believe this country will have lost it's best, and perhaps last, chance to correct it's course.
