Watched a movie today (yes i realise 90% of my blogs have started like this). In this movie, about the skull and bones club btw, this guy asked a question. Is America a meritorious society of a class based society. The answer given sums up America in one neat reply. Its both, improvement by merit leads to wealth and wealth leads to class systems.
Its because of this i actually started considering moving to USA at some point in my life purely because the country is so fucking interesting. Politically and socially its just so crazy. I went on road trip through California about 2 years ago. What i took from it was the sense of space everywhere. The country is so massive, it effectively is 50 different countries, each with its own identity. I only wish I'd had a chance to visit more of it.
I wrote about America some posts ago and i cant remember if i mentioned this/can't be arsed to look it up myself. I went through a period of irrational hatred towards all of America, based purely on George Bush and people on xbox live. Then two things shifted my opinion, both were from Britain, but went over to the USA and made some awesome shit.
The first was Niel (i have selective dyslexia on his first name btw) Gaiman, seriously you should all read "American Gods."
The Second was Stephen Fry, when he went on that tour round every state you really got to see how staggeringly different they all are, you could spend a life time trying to figure them all out.
This isn't to say i don't find Britain just as interesting, because i do. Its more that with America i can be sort of independent with it.
Now for the final part of the blog, which i may try and make a regular thing seeing as there is 5 series of the show to go through. Here it goes,
House Quote of the week
Doctor Cameron "You find it comforting to believe that this is it?"
House "I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't a test."
What a legendary dude, bubi now.
