Well, let's just leave it somewhere in the mostly to less than completely range. Then we will have something we've agreed not to argue further about, which has to be a positive for the thread. even in the individual cases where the market is not the dominant factor, I don't buy the idea that there is some conspiracy in the industry to undermine the values of America. Nor do I, but that may be because I have high standards for calling something a conspiracy. I do think that Hollywood celebrities in general have "looser" morals than the average American. (there are exceptions, of course, Bob Hope springing instantly to mind, but I did say in general.) I think they put these morals in their movies a) because they believe them personally, b) because they think America would be better off if it adopted their morals, and c) because seeing them on the screen and having millions of people pay good money to see them validates that their morals are okay. But none of that, IMO, constitutes a conspiracy.
