and I agree, nobody cares much what Hollywood has to say about anything. Or do they? Actors and Actresses do have a certain popular appeal, although I will note that the ones who have achieved the most political success in my lifetime have been Republicans--Reagan, Bono, Schwartzanegger, Eastwood, Grandy. Thankfully for America, however, those award shows only happen a couple of times a year. Welcome to the "word war" Dave!
