Hollywood has finally overstepped its boundaries and learned a hard lesson in what it's like to be repudiated by what they consider the "great unwashed".

Instead of standing firm on their principles no matter what the cost, they have run like puppies with tails tucked under their legs.

Bottom line -- they won't let their principles continue to get in the way of their bottom line.

I recall read a couple of weeks ago something Martin Sheen said, (I paraphrase)
Q) Do you think that your stand on the war will cost you?
A) Well I hope so. If it doesn't cost anything, it can't be worth much.

Now I disagree with his stand, but he at least understands that it may cost him. I haven't seen or heard any whining for him.
