As a subscriber who watched the documentary last night, I can tell you that because HBO produced and released it I will remain a subscriber for years to come.

way to make assumptions about me. i'll keep you in the dark as to my spawning status, but I will refute any insinuation that I'm a slacker college kid.
you were right to assume that I will be voting the way my parents do (now), democrat. they were both armchair republicans. hell, my dad was Reagan's chief audio technician. as a child, i asked my mom what republicans & democrats were, and which we were. she told me "we're republicans because we don't want to pay a lot of taxes." she doesn't say or vote that way anymore.
in anycase, go ahead and continue making those assumptions. but i don't see the majority of those slacker kids ever accepting the more intolerant, unenlightened folks who make up, if not the majority, the most vocal part of the republican party.
me, i don't want things so divided. i'm trying to find common ground with all my conservative friends and relatives so that we can seek out candidates and compromises that we can vote on together, be they from any party democrat, republican, whatever. there's alot more that this country agrees on than disagrees on. how about we try focusing on that?
This article makes a lot of sense to me, and I don't know shit about the technology we use. It made me think of an analogy of how limited our technology is in relation to the UNlimited potential of light.
If you take the fact that if every single creature on the planet were to look up at the sun at the exact same time, for any amount of time, the sun won't become dimmer or less warm in anyway. However, if our current technology were factored into the equation, it would take about 1/8 the world population to collapse the star and suck the planet into the resulting black hole.

please do keep moving the republican party to the right. but you might not find the country so welcoming as more of the true believers die off and us 18-29er's make up a larger and larger voting block.
