This society has gotten to a point where they build up people and then tear them down. Its like a sport.
The latest victim is Trump. I wont say he is perfectly Objectivist, but that said, there is so much hatred out there for him it is starting to bother me. Its personal hatred designed to break his spirit, kind of like what happened to Marilyn.
No one is saying this, but this man built up a successful business, raised a very impressive family, made a lot of money, spent a chunk of it on this presidential bid, and really doesnt need to do this presidential thing at all. He could stick with his business and family and have a few more years of a very good life.
When his family says he is doing this because he wants to do something good for the country, I tend to accept that. Who knows what goes on in a person's mind. We have to infer that from their actions.
I can tell you that I wouldnt give up my time and the money I made to get the hatred and terrible treatment that he has gotten. I would have told the voters to go fu&* themselves long ago. I have to commend him for sticking with it.
With this sort of treatment as the reward for running for president, we as citizens will never get the president that we seem to want. We will get the likes of Hillary Clintons, Barack Obamas, and George Bushs.
I agree that she was a treasure, too, if not a national icon.
Her memory did not seem at all risque by the end of the decade gone mad 60s.
I'm suddenly thinking of Jane Fonda nude in Barbarella, soon to become a grinning Teflon traitor behind a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, a protests speaker too radical for many radicals and later recognized as a great actress.
And I have too admit she grew up to be a good one.
hanoi debacle. . I was in seAsia when we bombed
Hanoi in 72. . different perspective! -- j
.
I did not share your experiences.
Still, Hanoi Jane was always on the back of my mind when I saw one of her movies on TV.
Can't recall buying a theater ticket save for seeing Barbarella with three other naughty guys.
This was before she became a known protestor.
.
But it is my opinion that Fonda should have been tried for treason.
Think in terms of an American movie star helping out ISIS for a propaganda video.
A happy little party I'd love to break up with a Tomahawk missile.
Never heard the word "aviation" when our MOS's were assigned.
Don't know what MOS those two wound up with, but little draftee me wound up as a supply clerk for a satellite communications squadron at Cherry Point, NC,--a Marine Corps air base!
And there I stayed.
didn't invite any of her Hollywood 'friends'
because, he said, they were the ones who killed her. Yep. Tragic
Hanoi Jane (favorite urinal stickers) should go live in the China, Vietnam or North Korea she loves so much, and avoid the disgusting US.
Hope it's just commie California where she's staying at.
Acting can be hard. I recall memorizing lines for a play one time as the main character.
Well, that was a live stage show. No room for retakes.
In mid-60s New York City,young Alabama dino was the usher at a cousin's wedding. His bride wore a miniskirt bridal gown. They are still happily married and have three grown kids.
