No, not like buying votes: I mean expressing your opinions through how you spend your money.
Amanda goes to see An Inconvenient Truth:
[S]ince I’m a liberal and since ours is really the political philosophy that occupies the moral high ground, I knew that I should see it, encourage others to see it and make sure that my ticket-buying “vote” was registered in their receipts. So that’s what I did Monday night.
But let me say, this movie is anything but boring. Apparently, there’s a lot about global warming I didn’t know. I didn’t know how severe it is. I didn’t know how obvious the effects already are. I didn’t realize how much I’d already been taken in by the fabricated myth that there’s controversy over it.
Yeah, I need to see it as well. I’m already a convert, but I suppose I’ll learn still more gloomy facts.
