Private Parts
There is a lovely article which I came across Chud.com and I thought I would mention it here since I think it is a really relevant article and kind of reflects some of my thinking on how a major motion picture studio let a movie like 'V for Vendetta' be made. You can read the article HERE. I watched an old movie called 'Private Parts' yesterday night and it was funny. It is an enjoyable watch incase you run across it at your video store.I have finished watching the audition tapes - not once but three times and I am just juggling the choices in my head before I make the short list for the second round. Have more auditions lined up but this time for the role of 'Roger'- which should be interesting. There has been another major development with the movie (a positive one for once) but will mention it once things are clear and sorted out.
Good night,
Amit

The V article was very intersting, but it left me with a couple of questions. I hear a lot of people complain about the Bush administration's approach to the war on terror, but I never hear alternative solutions. Complaints are easy. Effective solutions are the tough part. I'm certain that doing nothing has equally impactful consequences as doing something.
Secondly, freedom and liberties do not equate to an abscence of constraints. Everyone doing whatever they want whenever they want is not freedom, it is anarchy.
There will always be a representative government in place, no matter the party affliation, that will determine what they feel is appropriate and what is not within a society. A society is allowed to have behavior expectations and they are allowed to disapprove of some segments of behavior within that society.
Today there seems to be a great sense that people should be able to do anything they want just because they want it. That's completely wrong and short-sighted. One person getting addicted to drugs seems like nothing, but when hundreds of thousands do, well, it negatively impacts the society. The powers that be should see such behavior, disapprove of it and do what they can to push society away from such behavior.
Individuals rarely understand how their single behavior can impact the overall society. It is those in power that should guide the people on which behavior is beneficial and which behavior potentially detrimental to the overall health of the community.
The end result is that some people will disagree and complain, but that doesn't mean their opinion or values have societal equal weight. They are free to vocalize their discontent, but that does not mean the powers responsible for our society have to agree with them. They should hear them and evaluate it and like anyone who is a parent knows, sometimes the right answer, no matter how unpleasant, is no.
