The problem with what you say is that could just as easily apply to Castro.

Nicole and the kids are in Australia because Nicole is Australian. She wanted to live closer to her folks.

Bump. Good editorial that desperately needed saying.

However.................Do you think this will get picked up by the LA Times?

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out where the strong man
stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no
effort without error and shortcoming; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best
knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

Sure and she spends alot of time in Australia doesn't she. What a month out of the year? Her face is in every event in Hollywood, and who she is dating now is in every magazine.

So Cruise used this excuse to blast America instead of just admitting his ex tucked the kids away with family in Australia so they wouldn't be a bother? These are American kids that should have been adopted by an American family, and raised in America, instead of these two jumping in line to buy a discardable family.

I don't like the Cruize family but you are assuming that Nicole isn't even around the kids. Tom said that he was moving to Australia to be around his kids after the divorce. I don't like what he said about America but I'm not going to jump to conclusions that they are bad parents.

I am not sure that "Dixie Sass" really understands the cultural war that we wage. Gen. Patrick Cleborne understood. He said, that, "Our surrender would mean that the yankees would write the history of the war." He wrote that," our wounded and injured", would become "objects of derision".

We are involved in a cultural war. The future os Western Civilisation is the stake. We will either win or lose. Our members will either become warriors in the fight, or non-participants.

For a free and Independant Southern Nation, subsurviant to God,

EXCUSE ME????????

And what is that meant to imply?

I fully understand what is happening in this country today. I also understand that when you boycott a company, it isn't the person at the top that feels the pinch, it is the little guy. The little guy who lives from payday to payday and has 2.5 children to support. The divorced mother who is the sole support of her family or the single father in the same boat. They don't have the bank accounts and portfolios that you or others like you have who can afford it to lose their jobs.

Pretending that you are doing it in the name of Patriotism is snobbish, selfish and above all else hypocritical and NOT VERY PATRIOTIC.

If you honestly feel that you are going to hurt those people mentioned in the article, who make the salaries that are outrageous. Think again.

Go ahead and boycott Paul Newman - the people that will suffer will be the children that are the beneficiaries of of his business. The people who work in the factories and depend on their salaries to support their families. The secretaries and clerks, sales people and then by extension the truck drives who deliver the goods, the clerks who stock the shelves, etc. and etc.

Remember the "Trickle Down Theory" That's it. Just because you don't agree with the politics of the people at the top, doesn't mean you have to harm the people at the bottom.

Do no harm, for when you harm others you harm yourself.
