Most of the time I think I know myself.
In reading these posts, at first I agree that actors are acting... but then

But then I think of Mel Gibson... should I pay my $ to support his beliefs. I don't think so
Yes, there are other actors in his films earning $, but that's their decision to work with him.

Likewise with star athletes... should they be "role models" or are they also entitled to "private lives"
For some reason, I find myself being more lenient and forgiving with actors,
but I do seem to hold athletes to a higher standard.
Maybe it's because young people are not yet ready to make those distinctions that are needed


But then... Is a puzzlement !
