[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] [QUOTE]It was people like Charlton Heston, who marched side-by-side with Sidney Poitier in the Civil Rights protests in the 60's, (bet you didn't know THAT!)[/QUOTE] Sure I did! It seem that every time he gets up to seechify about how good guns are he tells me all that over again. In the words of the Western film, he's establishin' his bona fides. (Richard Boone to John Wayne in [b]Big Jake[/b]) I thought all them Hollywood types was liberal butt-in-skies who's mere presence, rakish good looks, and jaunty smiles was enough to warp the minds of midwestern conservative youth. Warp them enough to make them throw away their fur coats and stop eating pork products. If only Lisa Simpson hadn't talked to Paul and Linda McCartney on the roof of the Quicky Mart.... Oh, the Pork Advisory Council is going to have a fit...it's the other white meat you know... That is until Heston walks in a march...then it good activism. It was and is a great cause (I don't happen to see the Civil Rights movement as 'over') so don't get me wrong there, I just see it as somewhat paradoxical is all. I guess it all depends on your view of the cause as to whether celeb involvement is going to sway you from your easy chair and out onto the picket line or into Trader Joes for bean curd. Not really much of a rant...if I didn't like the part about the Pork Advisory Council and the rakish good looks thing I might have lopped much of this off. Certainly what those more to the left would call the 'Lexus Activism' (the save the whales sticker on the back of the sport ute) of some celebs is rather disingenious. My goodnesss, I feel like I channeling Sol's indecisive meandering approach to posting. Must stop. [/QB][/QUOTE]
