I just wish he was not a stinking damned liberal.

He is, but he's not in-your-face about it. He keeps his politics to himself and that's fine by me.

What I know of HF, I like.

Two anecdotes:

Like many other Hollywood types, HF owns a nice place near Jackson Hole WY. He found out that a developer wanted to put up condos down the hill from his place, which would have ruined the gorgeous view. So, instead of being a "don't-you-know-who-I-am!?" type, he simply bought the land himself so he could keep it beautiful. An excellent, and I believe conservative, solution.

Second, a friend who has two daughters once took them to the Jackson Hole airport for an annual Free Airplane Ride for Kids sort of event. Private pilots stood by their planes and the organizers assigned kids to particular planes and pilots. My friend's kids walked to their assigned plane, and the pilot smiled and shook their hands, saying, "Hi! My name is Harrison Ford. I'll be your pilot today."

Democrat or not, he strikes me as a really decent and humble person.

My cousin (lives in Jackson Hole) knows him a little. He used to come into the restaurant where she worked, quite often. Said that you'd never know he was there, unless you waited on him.

She also said that he does a lot of volunteer flying - fire patrols, searching for lost hunters / hikers, and so on. Stuff that you never read about in Entertainment Weekly.

As far as politics is concerned, my opinion is that reasonable men can...and should....disagree. Just because I don't like the way a man votes, doesn't make him a S.O.B.

I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain I saw something in the last couple of years that made me swear off of anything starring Harrison Ford. It wasn’t a small thing, either. It wasn’t good.

And that wasn’t easy to do, because I did enjoy his work, and I clearly remember being extremely disappointed and thinking “Hell. Pretty soon I won’t be able to watch, listen or do anything without feeling like I am violating my principles.

I would like to believe your version, so I will try to keep an open mind until I can figure out what it was that irritated me so mightily.
