interesting article discusses how they are going after anyone in Hollywood that is
speaking out. People in hollywood do have more influence than is warranted given
some of them are very close to being morons. it isnt just that an extraordinary lot
of them have never finished high school, but their "lifestyle" is not given to
critical thinking of any kind. as a nation we tend to think pretty kids and people
are smarter than they are. There are exceptions of course, people like Jodie Foster
comes to mind. She is going to Harvard (IIRC).
What is scary is all that adulation and fame goes to their heads and they really
think that qualifies them to be a representative of their people. None of them start
like a typical public servant serving on local school boards, city council etc while
they learn what they must learn. Politics is a great deal more like a team sport
than the star system, so the vast majority are really lousy politicians. The back
room boys like "stars" cause they can walk the walk and talk the talk and really look
the part AND they take direction very well indeed. But I would rather be represented
by a person than a bunch of puppeteers I dont know.

Ahhhh ... The Dixie Chicks. Freedom of speech...
What they said was nothing compared to what is being said today by
other people in Washington.
Why is it they caught all kinds of crap for saying something, about
whats his name?
But nothing is said about all the name calling today from all the other
people in politics?
