I had to look him up, as I know next to nothing about actors and actresses -- and still don't know which role you're referring to. Sorry.

But your future avatar concept sounds intriguing, and I hope you find it.

and it sounds interesting. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/buffalo_66/

While there, I read a sensitive review by dear Roger Ebert (RIP) http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/buffalo-66-1998 that gives some interesting insights into Gallo's motives for making the movie and also mentions that Gallo, as director, invoked scenes from other films -- and it's too bad that Ebert is no longer with us, b/c I'd love to suggest to him that the seemingly disconnected footage of Buffalo's kidnapped girlfriend tap dancing in the bowling alley could very well be an invocation of the Madison dance scene from Godard's "Band of Outsiders." This is all just a guess, as I haven't seen Buffalo 66.

Anyway, thanks so much for a good movie recommendation!

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.

Different polls seem to have different results. PPP polls seem to favor Clinton compared to other polls. I would it bet it has to do with the way the different polls determine the likely voter pool.

Can Bernie make it through Super Tuesday?

And don't you just hate that primaries are scheduled in such a way as to give the more right-wing states the earliest - and thus greatest - say in who gets nominated!?! I vote for national, same-day primaries for all parties (oh, well; if wishes were horses).

Whatever strengths each of us has -- money, writing skill, organizing skill, working with people skill, art skill, one-on-one persuasive skills, meme-producing skills -- whatever we each have, he will need it.

This is the battle of our lifetimes.

I can't see another chance like this in my lifetime (I'm 70 now). If Bernie can't triumph with his methods and message, I'm giving up on this politics stuff. I've got lots of other things I can do to pass my time - things I'd be doing now, if I didn't think this moment in history wasn't so enormously important!

as we're very close in age. As I read what you wrote, it seems this would be the healthiest option for me as well. Time is limited, and we need to live our lives as our interests and loves suggest and do the things we've wanted to do but didn't get around to before. So I'm going to try to look at it that way -- although it breaks my heart to think about what the younger generations are facing with oligarchic corporate world dominance and all that will come with global warming. I never knew, back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, how good we had it with affordable college, attainable employment, decent wages, benefits and pensions, a relatively unspoiled environment, and tremendous optimism for the future. There were problems, of course -- poverty, civil rights, American imperialism and the Vietnam war, but we were making inroads into those. There are young adults in this country who can't even imagine what we enjoyed. It's so sad, for me.

Actually, that's one thing we can do: tell them what it was like so they will know that it is possible. They must not think that the current state of affairs represents unalterable reality.

in SC is income inequality -- a bread and butter issue that also draws on resentment, a rightwing emotion that could seriously help Bernie, so I hope his advisers are using it as they draw up plans for SC.
