Just about every day I’m reminded about why the world works as it does, and as a practical matter, why folks do what they do without a lot of surprises. I mention this because of an article today by Elizabeth Harrington of CNSNews.com via Drudge.
In this case, her column demonstrates clearly why most actors select that career path. Because much like occupations such as politics (using the term “occupations” loosely, whereas politicians don’t do any work whatsoever) acting's a pastime that requires no intellect at all nor any productive characteristic other than looking right for the part.
As a practical matter, actor’s words are provided by writers, designers select and supply their attire, directors tell them how, when, where and perhaps even why to perform. Agents take care of their contracts and finances, trainers keep them fit and help of all other sorts feeds and bathes them, seeing to most of their personal needs while nannies and governesses and private schooling raises their children. And certainly, most retain full-time bodyguard protection.
Now, considering that due to the preceding description it should be no surprise that when folks who either can’t -or purposefully choose not to- think for themselves, do make a statement, the odds are that their premise is wrong, misguided or all-out moronic. And words from actor Jim Carrey on Saturday clearly proved that point when he stated that: “Anyone who has bought an “assault rifle” since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School retain little that is “worth protecting.”
Similarly, he’s also quoted as writing: “[Anyone] who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting,” on Twitter, Feb. 2.
Now, what I’d really like to learn is that since Mr. Carrey seems to have full knowledge of all other’s weaponry needs; Where did he get the information regarding precisely why those purchases were made? And how does he know the purchasers don’t have valid, proven and absolutely legal reasons for buying them. Furthermore, where does he get the insight as to what goes on in those folks body’s or souls in order to determine their worth’s?
Beyond those few basic questions, I wonder if he’s also aware that just about half of the householder’s in the nation already possess guns, but to to count the lunatics misusing them in mass shootouts you don’t even need both hands.
Consequently, the next time this clown wants to spout about what others should do who feel they need self and/or family protection, he ought to go out and buy an assault weapon himself. And if he's really that upset about what others do, he can bring it home, load it fully, turn it around and pull the trigger.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
