Srexley, You posted.."Do you feel that Hollywood selling smoking like this is worse than the President of the United States selling adultry to our youth? If not, how do you support one bad example and belittle another?" I agree that selling adultery to our youth is horrible...and even worse when it is the President's daughter that is doing it. You do know that Bush's daughter worked this summer with the production company that brings to our TV screens each week the show that promotes violence, drug use, profanity and adultery like no other continuing TV show in history of this media. I'm speaking of that bastion of perversion and mocker of human values..The Sopranos. At least Clinton tried to keep it between TWO consenting adults, but Bush's daughter apparently believes in bringing it to the MASSES of young people. So I guess my question to you....how do you support one bad example and belittle another?

I have no doubt that Hollywood is prostituting itself You must be desperate for enemies if you are trying to attack an industry that is expressly setup to exploit emotion and current events. What do you want, one of those government controlled movie industries like Iran? The next thing is you are going to start complain that the people in advertisements are more attractive than your average neighbor. Has it ever occurred to you that people in Hollywood get enough income to become independant and therefore don't have to toe the party line that Neocon says doesn't exist. They are expressing their opinion, not their masters. TP
