Really, they are!
All that righteous chest-pounding about The Donald's (undeniably rude) locker room talk from over a decade ago, and stone silence about this gent's well-known perverse proclivities and abuse of multiple women in his world.
Hmmm...add in Miz Hillary's silence (Well, she's had a lot of practice), Huma's hubby Anthony's Twitter habits and laptop full of confidential emails, stir gently...
Ends up smelling like a week-old fish left in the trash in a sunny location.
Folks, this is not a call for a boycott of Hollywood. It is a suggestion that we simply rethink where we generally spend time, money and attention. How about books, learning to play a musical instrument, or golf, or museum visits, or attending the symphony (or all those free recitals at your local university), or joining a softball team, or finding a good church to support, or singing in the local choral society, or volunteering for a local charity, or, or, or...
People like Streep, Weinstein, Clooney, Miz Hillary, Oprah, NBA and NFL players, corrupt college coaches, et al, all operate from the assumption that they are indispensable parts of our lives.
They aren't.
We don't need them. They, in the end, do need us. We get to walk away from them, and they will never be missed by those who replace them with their own list of alternatives.
