Just watched "The Filth and the Fury" for the millionth time. I still say Johnny Rotten for President!!!! Seriously I've been rethinking lots of things over the past few weeks and say I'm an independent but specifically what does that mean? I'm not religious per se, but I do think,for example, life begins at conception. That would put me with the conservatives. But unlike the "bootstrap" conservatives I don't believe that anyone who works hard, starts his/her own business,etc. can become rich or even comfortable. I'm okay,but I see so many people who aren 't, and I do see others getting rich off of the hard labor of those people. I think we should have some kind of national health care,but there's so much propaganda from both sides about that that I don't know how it could work in the US. We can't even get a decent dental plan for our huge postal workforce. I have a hard time understanding how someone can be fiscally conservative and socially liberal when it sure seems like the Almighty Dollar (or whatever currency is the strongest at any given moment) rules the world. In the Filth and the Fury I see the economic conditions in England from the late 60s through the 70s and believe that it could happen here. Well at least maybe we'll get some sort of music/fashion revolution out of it.
