Point taken. But the world is as it is and these guys and gals have spoken out, good on them. Me? I'm from Wales. it's another world to me.

And I take your point as to the way the world is. My cynicism as to the Hollywood types' motives stems from experience. Every Christmas in Los Angeles you can count on TV crews covering a celebrity "donating" their time at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. But ask those who work helping the poor day in and day out at such locations. Many -- in fact most -- of the celebs are gone once the cameras leave. Everything done in Hollywood is done with an eye to publicity, the best being the free type. "Look at me, I care." Gets facetime. And the camera crews and celebs get in the way of the real work and the real good.

As for being Welsh, please make more Katherine Zeta-Joneses. I don't care about what her politics look like.

I understand where you are coming from. Indeed a good dose of cynicism is wise when dealing with celebs and the MSM. Thanks for outlining your reasons.
