One other thing I’ve noted, not just with the Hollywood people, but with smart people from all over. We have a broad swath (whatever a swath is) of people who have advanced degrees from all the wrong places who attained them by writing a thesis or two. Writing this stuff only requires the gumption to sit on your butt in a library for three or four years and plagiarize other people’s work so they can come to some kind of “independent” point of view, one that doesn’t offend the liberal faculty, naturally. But….and this is important, once a person attains the advanced degree (Masters, Ph.D.) they believe they have the tools to “research their way” to the absolute truth about everything. So we are now seeing the fruits of an over educated proletariat deciding that “the war is bad” and doing all the selective research necessary to back up that opinion. Nobody is as arrogant as a woman with a Ph.D. in English who has researched the history of the Middle East and has come to an anti-war inescapable conclusion. You cannot budge these people, they congregate around the usual watering holes boosting each other by reciting new “facts.” I could go on but you get my drift.
