We watched a favorite movie just now, Pleasantville. So when (if?) Republicans watch it,

5. My favorite part of the movie is when William Macy comes home from work.

He enters his perfect 1950's home, hangs up his hat and coat and calls out his everyday greeting of "Hi, honey, I'm home." Hearing no response from his dutiful 1950's wife, he wanders around the house trying to find the someone who is always home when he gets there. The look of bewilderment at the disruption of his routine and the concern that one of the pillars of his life is missing is written all over his face. In so many ways that look is a visual expression of what conservatives feel as so many of the pillars of their belief system have fallen. Black are equal, women are independent, Gays can marry and pot is legal. Just like Macy, they are swept up in changes that they don't understand, don't approve of and cannot stop.
