It never ceases to amaze those of us who have our feet firmly planted on the ground how some people can come up with such outrageous thoughts and concepts regarding firearms and their views on gun control, that the rest of us with a thinking brain can sit back and wonder to ourselves whether the lights are on or not. Let’s not try to cover up the fact that most in Hollywood already have a very loose grip on reality as the rest of us. One has to face the fact that Hollywood, for the most part, is based upon fantasy and not so much on true reality. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes that can be a great, we all need to escape our own reality to stay sane, but Hollywood seems to have cornered the market on doing so a bit too thoroughly. Everyday life can have many ups, downs and struggles for everyone. Sitting down in front of the TV or movie screen can help to heal the psyche, but one should not escape into fantasy on a permanent basis. We sit back and watch Hollywood create the most unlikely of heroes and watch them overcome insurmountable odds to save some spinoff of America or the world. Yes it can make for good TV, but this is just not reality. We must demand from Hollywood the ability to remember that we should not confuse what is seen on TV screen with the actual real world. Most things in life do not end up like they do in the movies or TV. The rest of us get this concept, I am not sure why Hollywood can not grasp the concept. I have always been taught that one should educate themselves before speaking on any subject, but yet we see Hollywood open mouth to insert foot. Not only is it tragic, but it is even more scary. I say this because most of today’s children see Hollywood as “Heroes,” and they try to emulate them. This is a very slippery slope and as a society we need to fix it before it is too late. We need to teach our children the differences between TV or the movies and true reality.
