I used to work in the Motion Picture Industry for one of the large Movie companies. Trust me when it comes to waste (Financial, Human and Otherwise), Overpaid neurotic Actors, corruption, Political foolishness and idiots with causes such stories I could tell! Finally I was so disgusted that I quit that place and got a job in the real world. For an industry that prizes itself on supposedly being the paragon of liberal virtues(!) it was tghe most cynical and hypocritical entity I had ever seen.

I disagree with the view that consequences for politically outspoken celebrities are equivalent and negative, regardless of convictions.

Has Charleton Heston suffered 50 percent loss of market due to his support of the Second Amendment? Not from where I stand.

Conversely, the more stridently left-wing the scripts of West Wing have become, the greater the dive in ratings.

I submit that most Americans are conservative at heart and will reward and punish -- if they're inclined to do so at all -- in a manner not inconsistent with the views of most posters on Free Republic.
