Loved this post and so edified to learn of another Hollywood conservative. Gives one hope. Anyway, I lived in St. Petersburg Russia in '94. I taught English there to college students & they would try to explain the culture to me. Instead of our American attitude of trying to keep up with each other, they believed in knocking each other down to the lowest level. They had this story about 2 neighbors. If one got a cow, instead of working hard to get a cow himself, the other one would just shoot his neighbor's cow. One of my American colleagues got sick there and we visited her in the hospital. I wish I could post the pictures--the conditions were horrendous. They would give us these bags to place over our shoes "for sanitation"--to keep the dirt from our shoes from being dragged in. The thing is, the bags had big holes in them. I think there's a great metaphor in that for socialized medicine. Give everyone coverage, yet on the other end, they'll be draining out our money in taxes (& being generally inefficient to boot). One big joke.
