The whole country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has made no tiny stir. On a Sunday morning TV editorial Charles Osgood indicated that Hollywood isn't tying to put forth a gay liberal agenda but rather are interested only in the bottom line money. 

Although not inferred, it sounded like capturing the minds of adults or poisoning the minds of our youth was simply an immaterial that occurred on the way to the bank. For over thirty years I have warned that it is not just what we see on films that may influence us. Each film has a philosophy attached to it if it was intended or not. 

Sex, violence and profanity are blaringly obvious but delicate philosophies are becoming more obvious and are becoming more obvious and are even less refined. for box office cash is not all that fuels this raw open ended sort of expression in the flick industry. The mention of any type of control [ even self control ] is met with cries of violated first amendment rights and the old freedom of expression hype. It may seem a bit over used but remains true nevertheless that Hollywood has never bothered to discern the difference between freedom and license. 

A poll discovered that only one out of a thousand US people knows all of the rights our constitution makes provision for them. About the poll related that most people can name only one of our constitutional rights. Contrasted with that fact, it was found the same folks could name 3 or more of the characters in the TV animated sitcom, The Simpsons. The bottom line says that flick makers know what their rights are but the flick viewing public either doesn’t have a clue or they just don't care. Anyone who thinks TV and Films don't influence our society must be living in another country. Yet even that is not true. 

Another poll lately discovered that one of the reasons that almost every major country in the world hates Yanks is because of the film industry. All they know about America is what they see in the movies. Immorality, scatterbrained love, rebellion, crime, gay cowboys and general mayhem is all they see. Any country attempting to keep order and develop would naturally reject this sort of example and that is precisely what they do. 

Could we get Hollywood’s attention on this, not so far but perhaps we could catch them on the way to the bank and let them know. It is estimated that USA citizens will spend 15 years on average of their entire lives watching Television and Flicks . 

Maybe it's not reasonable to think John Q TV watching public is going to take any time out of their fifteen years to snatch a few Hollywood producers on their way to the bank. Maybe they could protest a bit during the commercials which comprise about five of the fifteen years of their TV and movie watching lives. Actors and others in the movie industry are paid giant sums of cash to do and say things most Americans do not accept believe should ever be seen or uttered. Are they showing us our mind, or is art coaxing life instead of imitating it. I suspect when actors or thespians are offered tiny fortunes to behave and talk badly they must think they are living right. They too probably laugh all the way to the bank. Most Americans don’t act like actors but Hollywood can afford to make them act any way they select. It all seems Ok if the end [ the trip to the bank ] seems to explain the means. Some Americans are a bit done with Hollywood advising a way to live rather than showing how they live. The Bible isn't bored with anything but has a lot to say about how sick human behavior can become. Maybe it's best said by the bible regardless of whether Hollywood is listening or not. There's a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the techniques of death. Proverbs 14:12
