People should read this, so I'm reposting and thank you very much for the original comnet.ca
. I saw wisdom in every word. when I saw who the author was it made perfect sense. Charlton Heston is not afraid to stand up for what is right. He might be an actor, but he has more substance than a hundred Clintons. Unfortunately, we shall never see him run for president because of his association with the National Rifle Association. The press would look for grist for their meat grinder in every film, every word, every book and every picture with his image in it.

Wow...interesting. I do support the NRA, but this Actor invoked "DrKing" one too many times for this Pilgrim to overlook the peripheral senility...Regarding the rap lyrics:

"Well, I won't do to you here what I did to them. Let's just say I
left the room in echoing silence. When I read the lyrics to the
waiting press corps, one of them said "We can't print that." "I
know," I replied,"but Time/Warner's selling it." Two months
later, Time/Warner terminated Ice-T's contract. I'll never be
offered another film by Warners, or get a good review from Time
magazine. But disobedience means you must be willing to act, not
just talk."


I understand first hand, exactly what he's saying here.

I also do not understand how anyone can honestly say that it's possible to "disobey, respectfully".

"Disobiedience" is "disrespect"...let's face it.

We can't have it both ways...I'm not judging the action...I think it's important to be realistic about the idea of "disobiedience".

Thanks fax&logics!
