Keep Hollywood Working

The motion picture and television writers finished their ugly business some time ago causing havoc in the Industry and the community that depends on it. Why? for a larger slice of a bigger pie they'll never taste. For an endeavor that has little use for the vapid product of writers who's best effort is no more than the rehashed television of their youth. Yuk.

Now the actors stand at the abyss ready to destroy the last vestiges of a productive industry. An Industry, Hollywood, once then envy of the world.

That they are artists is the grossest of self-delusions. Most can't remember lines or hit their marks. Ninety percent never work, but not for those reasons The successful actors contracts give them far more than any Union contract could guarantee. Those who do not work hold the fate of the Industry in their hands. A spite vote for a strike will be yet another blow to the fate of the Industry.

Hollywood is a moveable feast.

Keep everyone working.
