Madonna & War

Hollywood is a place where people center their existence around trying to get paid to be something that they aren't. The better they get at being something they aren't, at pretending to be people they aren't and at pretending they have emotions and feelings they dont... the more credibility people seem to feel they have... and the more they feel they need to "speak out".

Hmm, I disagree. Acting is a job. You are making it look like these people strive to be something they are not in their personal life....that their job somehow magically creates a mental insufficiency that migrates to their personal lives and creates this 'need to "speak out". (well, for the most part I disagree, unless you count Mr. Jackson and Anne Hecke..lol)

The REASON they feel the need to speak out is because they have the avenue to do so. People tend to hear those who've been in their livingrooms for years and years....oh those familiar faces.

Come on, if you had the avenues to get your position across to the world on an important subject and know that you have a certain 'influence' and might be able to promote 'change' that supports your position, wouldn't you take the opportunity? I would.

Is their position right? I have no idea.....but they have the the unique ability and resources to express it to the world.

'Stars' always have, and always will have a certain influence on 'the people'...why do you think that old guy is head of the Pro-Gun organization? (sorry, I don't remember his name or the org. .....but you know who I mean..lol)

It's just the way it is.....
