In recent months, a lot of pompous windbags have made statements to the effect that actors shouldn't be allowed to make political statements; that their handlers should restrain them, preventing them from commenting on anything except their upcoming new releases.
Which leads me to question: Who, exactly, is to be allowed to discuss these issues? Apparently, no one, for anyone who opposes American militarism must be anti-American. All these people should have their mouths gagged with duct tape and plastic sheeting, so that their poisonous views won't be exposed to the fertile soil of American gullibility.
TIm Robbins' speech to the Press Club is a breath of fresh air in these times.
