Harvey Weinstein Proves Why the Left Really Hates Trump

When there are public prayers that are supposed to be nondenominational to Gd, sometimes they hit it really well, and sometimes they just don’t. I have nothing against Christian prayers. I feel blessed to hear them at events or funerals or wherever they are appropriate. (Yes, I roll my eyes when the athlete thanks Jesus for his team’s win, like Jesus hates his opponents...;))
But for my little kids, at a public school I’d prefer they weren’t praying prayers that don’t work well for us... I am sure everyone feels that way.

Christian prayers are AWESOME! But more for Christians! :)

Maybe the code did influence morals of the time. When I was really young I thought people were better than they were in the 70s. I got that imporession from the old movies. And back then, at least SOME of the ingenues probably cared about their virtue.

There has long been corruption in showbiz. Even before there was Hollywood, vaudeville and travelling shows could be pretty sleazy. But at various times, Hollywood bigwigs were able to keep a lid on the debauchery -- to keep it out of the public eye, and maybe even to decrease it.

Hollywood is a little (or a lot) like organized crime. All kinds of licentiousness and lasciviousness was going on, but some of the bosses could sometimes be rather decent family men, so far as sex and drugs and drink went. If they lost control in any way, they risked losing control of their firms. Case in point: Harvey Weinstein lost control over his impulses, and ended up losing control over his outfit.

Nowadays, much production is done outside LA. You can look on that as Hollywood's corruption spreading, but it's also being diluted and dispersed. Doubtless sleazy stuff is going on now in Vancouver or Toronto or Atlanta or Brisbane, but it's probably less spectacular and less widespread that what happens in LA or NYC.
