"And so Tinseltown carries about its daily bristled business without a care in the world... They are, indeed, a world of privilege; a self-sufficient world; a world apart.

How can they not see that they have a responsibility in the overall order of things? Beyond merely "educating", accurately reflecting the times we live in by portraying them in a non-idealized way on the small and big screens and even beyond giving the moviegoer or film buff/ DVD purchaser his or her money's worth... BEYOND all that - Hollywood owes it to the world to GIVE BACK to it - give back to the 'Have-Nots' in kind, for they are 10 times as numerous as you are, Tinseltown tools - and they matter, too."
