Because the guys are acting like 12 year old boys in a shower.

Let me ask you this: 20 years ago would you know or care what these B list entertainers think about anything?

Does it really matter what Seth Rogan thinks? Or What Kid Rock thinks about what Seth Rogan thinks.

Would you give a hoot about what Ted Mingley thought about Reagans position on the MX missile in 1980? Because that is what we are getting worked up about.

40+ years ago, I knew what Moms Mabley thought about racism and the "N" word and the NAACP - she was a Black comedienne and her opinion was just her opinion but it was refreshing.

The value of some of their opinions isn't that it carries any specific weight or importance, it is in the small ripples it send through the various Leftist industries and the small dab of cohesiveness it affords those who have similar opinions.

The Left idolizes these folks and they use their "B List Entertainers" to maximum effect to bring others into tune with them - why not accept the few that make statements more in accordance with our own side of things? It's not like we're looking to them for guidance on important issues, it's more of a "friendly face in the crowd" thing.

I try to use Rule 62 which has 4 parts:
- Don't take yourself so seriously.
- Learn to laugh at yourself.
- Lighten up and enjoy what you can.
- Don't piss on someone else's parade just because you have bladder control issues.

I don't always achieve rule 62, but it doesn't cause harm to try to follow it and things go smoother.

I'm assuming, by your FR sobriquet, that you served or are serving - God Bless for your service.
