I've been thinking about it and I'm beginnint to wonder if acting and liberalism are linked to the same gene. I mean, let's think about it.
Actors: good at taking on someone else's personality, not terribly stable, scared to be alone, unable to commit, rarely think for themselves, need agents and assistants to handle harsh aspects of life for them...
Liberals: good at taking on whatever views are popular, not terribly logical, scared to be alone (collectivism), unable to commit (want easy outs from marriage and parenthood), rarely think for themselves, need the government to mitigate the harsh spects of life for them...
I'm developing a hypothesis here. Or at least, I'm developing a suspicion. (-:
