The website Boycott Hollywood is being shut down due to legal threats by the William Morris Agency against the site's domain registrar. This will undoubtedly solve Hollywood's image problem.It should reinforce the lesson of the '60s and the '90s, that those who demand freedom and rights for themselves don't always want to allow the same rights to those who disagree. Our colleges and universities are a case in point. So this this.It starts with self-pity then becomes anger and ends with attempts to suppress the speech of others. I expect something similar to come from the gay/lesbian groups if they continue to win support in the press and the courts. Sexual license is a symptom of a society in decline, along with bread and circuses, politicians buying votes with tax funds.Even as our nation is at war with terrorists, we seem to lack the will to take measures that would really give us security. We don't trust our own government, and our police even less. Rights are being claimed to prevent us from taking appropriate measures, as government agencies allow political correctness to dirvert them from doing their jobs. Random searches at airports, instead of targeted ones based on behavioral profiles, waste everybody's time and ruin our air transportation businesses. Our government seems more and more to be controlled by activists and lawsuits, as are essential services like health care. Illegal drugs are everywhere, and the "solution" is said to be solve the crime problem by legalizing it.

Strutting and fretting in an insane world.
