I don't deny them whatever they can make in their craft. I don't even deny them their hordes of worshippers who yearn to live vicariously through them (although I do pity anyone whose life is so thoroughly devoid of value that he or she turns to Hollywood for it). But I can tell you that, otherwise peaceful, unassuming fellow that I am, if just about any one of them ever came to my door seeking shelter in a storm, I'd take great pleasure in asking "Aren't you one of those Hollywood actors?"

The rules these days give management and boards nearly absolute power at the expense of the true owners of the company...the long forgotten stockholder. If stockholders had the power this mortgage crisis as well as most of these companies even reaching the point they would need a bailout, never would have happened. <br />We need to expose these executives to a basic tenet of liberal capitalism they've for over two decades been protected from, the right to fail."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.com
