Why in the world?

Why do we give our hard-earned dollars to people who so obviously hate us? I have watched a good bit of television in the last few weeks, with the 2 major party conventions dominating the news, just a while back. I have been appalled at what I've heard from some "celebrities" in the acting and sports fields.

These folks are mega-rich because we average Americans have spent our hard-earned dollars on tickets to see them and on products that they endorse. They are undoubtedly very good at what they do or what they've done, in some cases but being able to play an intelligent person in a movie does not make you an intelligent person. Neither does being able to throw, catch, dunk or hit a ball.

When I see one of these people make fun of the values that many of us hold dear, make fun of us for what we believe, make fun of us for being who we are or where we live, I am appalled! More than that, I wonder why in the world would I ever buy another ticket of any kind to see one of them get richer and more arrogant. Frankly, I won't.

It's sad, yet we see more and more of it everyday. I especially can't stand all the political correctness. If you say something, mean it darn it. Don't back peddle the moment someone takes offense.  :angry9:
Pass it on...

Haven't paid money to see any professional sporting event or entertainers since Barry Bonds and Andy van slyke played for the pirates. College sports and the little league play offs are about all I watch anymore.

While I see your point and agree with it, let's face it. If I was to stop paying for everything that I thought might be opposed to my views, I'd be sitting in the woods naked watching squirrels play!  Every movie has actors that have views opposing mine, every team has players, every company executives.  Hell, a lot of the devices we view this site on are made in communist china!  I would love to give my money to only those who support my way of life but the sad truth is it's not possible. Hell, even the Amish can't survive without outsiders!

He's speaking from experience fellas. Those mountain squirrels are like ninjas. One minute all is well. The next, not so much.

I made it a point long ago to by American as much as possible.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
