I find it disturbing that so many of us seem to believe that entertainment is the most important aspect of our experience. I’ve been listening to the coverage of the absence of people of color among Oscar nominees. At first I thought perhaps people of color should make better movies that more people want to see, and then it occurred to me that I had bought into a non-issue.
Of course discrimination continues to be an issue all through mankind, but this fuss is about millionaires of color not being recognized by other millionaires for excellence in entertainment. I suppose I’ve been boycotting the Oscars for years because it’s several hours of coverage of a subject that is, almost by definition, meaningless.
I’m living in San Diego County presently and the biggest issue being talked about at the moment is whether or not the Chargers will move to Los Angeles. A big part of the issue is how many hundreds of millions of dollars local government will commit to guarantee construction of a new stadium for the multi-millionaire owners to hold games between very well-compensated players. These are games (football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc.) that kids play every day all over the world in dirt lots.

Meanwhile, a representative of local government said just now (again) that they were hopeful (again) of finding private money to house homeless veterans by the end of this year (again). The stadium stands a much better chance.
Of course it’s Big News that Donald Trump has been endorsed by Sarah Palin! We’ve lost our freaking minds!
I was upset at the talk of boycotting the Oscars begun by sore losers. The fact that Will Smith isn’t doing such great acting jobs has nothing to do with color and a lot more to do with huge ego and his wife has more than enough of that too. Let them boycott it. Oscars are meaningless anyway in determining classic films or performances. Look at the history of who won it and which film is still being watched. You cannot judge artistic merit using affirmative action. So she wants to have one acting position reserved for people of color. How meaningful would that be! Totally nuts.
As for Trump wanting Palin’s endorsement, he’s said before he’d put her in his Cabinet… ugh
I agree, the world has gone mad. But wait, when was it not mad? I walk an entirely different path than the rest of the world. Sports and the movie industry do not interest me at all.
