Just putting this out there. We seem to revere anyone in the acting profession and trust them implicitly, forgive their indiscretions and even change our political views to coincide with what we perceive their views to be. At the same time, we distrust and despise politicians. Actors earn their living by pretending to be someone else - someone they are not. Politicians in the main also earn their living by pretending they are someone they are not, by 'acting a part'.. Why do we revere actors and not politicians when they are both effectively doing the same thing?
I don't "revere" or even trust, actors nor politician. My views are based on evidence and my conscience,NOT what actors say or do.
