Thus…
“It is the obligation of every free man to express his views. Thus, as a thinking man, I am forced to address such issue to remain true to my own integrity.”

I have given up the ridiculous socieo-political debate on the STRIKE, my responses to your flipant comments on my character however are meant to provide you with reasons for my initial commentary as an answer to your comment…

“And since you no longer want to address it, sure… no one forced you.”

I know statements like that are considered “hokey” in our times, but never-the-less that is my position. If that is misunderstood, then I submit that the whole point of STAR TREK (with its philospohies and distinct values also considered “campy and hokey”) is lost on this generation.

That is all…nothing more, nothing less. Logan displayed a shameful object of political obsession that likely had no place on this forum. I felt it necessary to point out the irony of the situation as a warning to all who practice intolerance in the guise of promoting tolerance.

Let us end this here…please.

And your gripe is that they have used “themed” protests? They used their creativity, so what? You’d reward a student for creative thinking…I hope.
And I chose to say it’s business. It’s not about Hollywood activism or blue and red states… it’s about jobs and employers. Logan muddied the water with the tirade that I thought was out of hand, but in saying it doesn’t mean he’s right or on-subject.

No, Logan made the descision to make this political instead of about economic or social issues. I chose to call Logan on it.

Fact is, most people I know either don’t care about the strike (until it began to effect their shows, at which point they were more angry at the writers) or think it is somehow pointless to worry about since it has nothing to do with anything remotely like what they go through as teachers.

Average persons do not seem to relate to the HOLLYWOOD crowd and the entertainment industry unless it is to be entertained by them. Which is why entertainers, be they conservative or liberal, run the risk of such backlash when they suddenly make a political point.

Now, if they were coal miners, or industrial workers being harmed by unfair practices or teachers (yes, I went there) seeking resources for their classrooms that owuld be a different story. But, Star Trek themed PROTESTS….THEME protests at all, smack more of the ridiculous than of the activism.

Political?

Sorry..this is business…

Sadly, I submit that this is sad commentary on our society.
