Movie Popcorn

The Washington Post makes reference to a movie playing this afternoon in the Maryland House of Delegates. The flick is Al Gore’s egghead blockbuster about the death of the planet Earth. It may be pretty good stuff, but when you have to show it at work, it may mean that our republican version of democracy is too busy to consider the limits of life on Earth. I say Eco-Advocates may be showing the film at the wrong parliament. The U.S. Senate might be a better forum. Yet I wonder who sweeps and removes the popcorn boxes: Interns, learning about a free movie economy?
