Gay Cowboys and The First Admendment

The entire country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has created no little stir. On a Sun. morning Television editorial Charles Osgood indicated that Hollywood is not 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 will influence us. Each film has a philosophy attached to it whether it was intended or not. 

Sex, violence and profanity are blaringly plain but subtle philosophies are becoming more obvious and are becoming more blatant and are much less subtle. 

The race for ticket 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 had a meeting with cries of violated first amendment rights and the old liberty of expression hype. It may appear a bit over used but remains true nevertheless that Hollywood hasn't troubled to discern the difference between freedom and license. 

A poll discovered that only one out of a thousand Americans knows all of the rights our constitution provides for them. On average the poll declared that the general public can name only one of our constitutional rights. Contrasted with that fact, it was found the same people could name 3 or more of the characters in the TV animated sitcom, The Simpsons. The bottom line announces that movie makers know what their rights are but the movie viewing public either doesn't have any idea or they just don't care. Anyone that thinks TV and Films don't influence our society has to be living in another country. Yet even that is not true. 

Another poll not long ago discovered that one of the explanations that pretty much every major country in the world hates Americans is thanks to the film industry. All they know about America is what they see in the flicks. Immorality, scatterbrained love, rebellion, crime, gay cowboys and general mayhem is all they see. Any country making an attempt to keep order and develop would naturally reject this type 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 tell them. It is guessed that US citizens will spend fifteen years approximately of their whole lives watching Television and Movies. Perhaps it is not reasonable to think John Q television watching public is going to take any time out of their fifteen years to snatch some Hollywood producers on their way to the bank. Maybe they could protest a bit in the commercials which comprise about 5 of the 15 years of their Television and movie watching lives. Actors and others in the flick industry are paid massive 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 rather than imitating it. I suspect when actors or thespians are offered little fortunes to behave and talk badly they must think they are living right. They too possibly giggle all the way to the bank. Most USA citizens don't act like actors but Hollywood can afford to make them act anyway they choose. It all seems Ok if the end [ the trip to the bank ] seems to justify the means. Some Americans are a bit sick of Hollywood endorsing the way to live rather than outlining how they actually live. The Bible isn't bored with anything apart from has a lot to claim about how sick human behavior can become. Maybe it is best claimed by the bible regardless of whether Hollywood is listening or not. There is a way which seemeth right unto a person, but the end thereof are the methods of death. Proverbs 14:12
