Theory of Happiness
"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.”
Political Opinions - Who can have them?
Many people complain about actors and athletes making their opinions public...and interfering with politics and government.
So, does your chosen profession or occupation dictate your patriotism or opinion? If actors don't have a place in making a difference for their country or cause, why was Ronald Reagan elected president...twice? Why do we pay attention to Jerry Lewis and send in millions of dollars for muscular dystrophy, or Danny and Marlo Thomas for St. Jude's Children's Hospital? Don't forget the current occupant of the White House spent years in tv entertainment and beauty pageants. Should we quit listening to him?
Maybe actors and actresses have a handle on what is real and what is make believe. And from that, they can use their voices for good or evil.

"giving it [the government] back to you, the people"
Just what does that look like? How does that manifest itself? Is that just the reality of having a representative government where the members of Congress are the 'people' rather than a swamp?
