"an inconvenient truth"

@ long last, i got partial control of ye olde family netflix queue, so the docs are rolling in. i'm very late on this, but go immediately and watch this movie. it's one of the best i've ever seen.

and if that's not enough to quench your appetite, eugene jarecki's film is great, too. neither film is bitter or self-righteous, a la "bowling for columbine" or "farenheit 9/11" (both of which i liked, but moore is too caustic and cocksure to spearhead any sort of real grassroots change).

something gore said moved me (xtns would say "the holy spirit convicted me") when i heard it: doing something about the issue of global warming isn't just a good thing to do, it's a moral obligation. (i got the same feeling of "i'm going to have to answer to god for this someday" when i saw all the civilian casualties in jarecki's film). i don't know for sure what to do, but i know i have to do something, as inconsequential as that may be. i owe my children, and god, that much.
