I Would Prefer To Be Well-liked In

I Think What Hinders The Argument Is When People Are Afraid Of Hurting The Feelings Of Racists And People Who Are Genuinely - Some Of Them - Out Of Their Minds. They Demand To See Obama's Birth Certificate. They Claim That He Wants To Kill Our Grandparents With His Health Care. They Want To Be Able To Carry Their Guns Into Every Public Place. Why Do We Need To Coddle These People?

It Is Not Crazy To Think That Powerful People Do Some Pretty Horrible Things. And Maybe They Get Out Of Hand. Maybe It Just Gets Away From Them. It Snowballs.

The Right, Like Pat Buchanan And Rush Limbauggh, Use Women And The Black Man And The Hispanic Immigrant And The Gay Man As A Scapgoat For Society's Ills. They Pretend It's About Traditional Family Values, But That's A Bullshit Phrase That Means Nothing To Me. They Like To Use Us All. They Use Pro-life As A Way To Hate Women And Slam Women, Dressed Up In The Nobility Of Saving Unborn Fetuses. I Think It's Just Misogyny.

When Pat Buchanan Came Out Against The Beijing Women's Conference And There Were Women Standing Next To Him, Smiling And Laughing When He Was Making Fun Of It, I Was So Embarrassed. I Don't Mind When The More Liberal Or Moderate Republican Women Talk About Smaller Government Or Money Issues And Things Of That Nature. But When I See A Conservative Republican Woman In Line With The Christian Right Or Coming Out Against Abortion And Day-care Issues And For Taking Away Womens' Aid, I See A Self-hating, Unenlightened Woman, Like A Self-hating Jew. That Blows My Mind. I Don't Get It At All.

The Directing Thing, To Do It Well, I Think You Have To Have A Hell Of A Lot More Discipline Than I Do, Or Be A Lot More Willing To Really Take Charge Of Whole Large Group Of People Than I Feel Comfortable Doing - Because A Director Really Has To Run Everything, And Be Very Confident In Their Ability To Do So.
