Mr Mask,
Gee Ashton...if the world collapses under your feet, and millions die unprepared and unaware, will you feel a tad bit guilty that you used
your fame and sage presence to do nothing more than grab a few dollars and hoard a couple guns/supplies/bunkers- instead of using your influence to
help your fellow humans do the same?
There is a working term under which most of us work..called Contract and Obligation to specific performance...in short ..contract.
I don't give Hollywood much credit for anything in the social arena...social=politics. Hollywood is in the Image business..not necessarily the reality
business. Why do you think they call it a reality show verses substance???
And Politics is becoming more and more in the Image business as well..not in the substance business.
I think sufficiently to know that Hollywood is not a good gauge of morality by which to copy or emulate by the American Public or any other public.
That Washington DC is up the backside of Hollywood is very telling and also vice versa.
Is all of Hollywood like this ..no it is not. However ...I still stand by what I said....it is Ashton Kutcher's private time and monies. This is
distinctively different from his contract and obligation to specific performance.
Thinking peoples know this difference.
I agree with the poster who stated that many in Hollywood have to hide their social and political belief's. It would be prudent to do so by
anyone..not just in Hollywood.
Furthermore ...Mr Mask..it is not up to Ashton Kutcher to wise us up past what for many of us is public/television/movie education/beliefs. We are
responsible for that. With Politics..both political parties...up the backside of Hollywood and viceversa....it is also up to us to catch on to our
leaders/politics as well.
I don't presume to tell Ashton what to do or believe in his private time. I also am not a fan of his nor his woman...nor Hollywood...nor of the body
politic.
I believe the less politic we have in our lives the more freedom and liberty we have. I also believe the less Hollywood..we have in our lives the more
freedom and liberty we will have. Particularly since I also believe Hollywood and Washington DC are together in bed...and not for the betterment of
the public felicity.
Edit to add,
saltheart foamfollower,
There is another type mentioned, those that believe the vast unwashed do not deserve guns, this is a large component of the media and
government class of folks. Look at that politician that shot an intruder, lifelong purveyor of gun control.
I have a word for this kind of thinking. The word I use to describe this trend and modus operandi is "Feudalism."
Another royal class not accountable as are the rest of us. With titles and priveleges/rights not granted to most peoples. Feudalism/royalty.
The United States of America was not intended as a feudal royal class in this manner as we are becoming. We are being divided by the body
politic..with the help of Hollywood... into different classes for the purpose of control over our liberties by the body politic. By race, by wealth,
by sex,..by sexual orientation. All of these for identification and control..ie...whoredom by the body politic to keep and maintain power over
us..while they conduct their affairs in a different light and manner....ie...Royalty/Feudalism.
This is an anathema to thinking Americans.
Thanks,
Orangetom.
