[kj] OT: Lydon, US v UK punk - Politics and Personalities

[folk devil]

Have you had any discussions with any 'Tea Party people' yet, Sade?
I have had a number so far, and it always seems to end in them not really having much understanding of the US constitution, or History (such as previous Presidents). Although I'm sure there is an exception, somewhere..
The conversation typically ends with them telling me to 'go home you leftist Limey', even with my US passport....maybe they should start putting 'Chimps' in front of their name, and deny people like Thomas Paine ever existed..blind faith worries me.

> Human expression is more innate than just .... 

 
I agree completely; I was just referring to a person's character (morals, principles, values, etc.).  To me it's what counts most in a person.  On giving it more thought I think I should've phrased it better  though, like "of so many ways to know a person, if I get to know what version of a religion/politics/nationalism they follow, and how they themselves follow or apply or passive-aggressively support, I've always found it to be a big "Tell" as far as character.

Inexplicable? Harumph! :)

@saulo: Human expression is more innate than just politics and religion. To apply such a limited viewpoint and understanding to any
person with an ounce of original thought is doing them a great disservice.
