  Judd vs. Harrelson

  Well put & I understand your anger, moutian top removal is unspeakably horrible.

  I think you may be misplacing your anger when you lash out at Ashley Judd. When you put Ashley next to Woody, I think you're comparing apples to oranges. It sounds like you feel betrayed in some way that Ashley should speak out for a cause that is so far away while atrocities are happening in your back yard.

  All I want to say is please make allowances for anyone who supports any worthwhile issue. There is so much need, so many terrible situations & far too few people to speak out, lend a hand, support or otherwise do anything beyond observe. Counterproductive diatribes regarding anyone that puts themselves out there for a cause defeats our purpose of trying to offset the damage done by greedy, callus, self-serving people every day. I know this is important to you or you wouldn't be reading Grist.

  BTW, I appriciate your dry humor, I didn't find it degrading & people need to learn to laugh at themselves more. I must say that I believe the banjo music you refer to was played in Georgia, the state I live in & yes, those people do exist, I've met them. I don't believe in promoting prejudicial stereotypes, but I see no harm in what you said.

  We all need to accept others & grow a sense of humor at the same time. Please try to make allowances for Ashley's choice, it's a valid one even if it is far away. I live in Georgia & worry about everything from stray cats to Tibetan persecution. I'm hoping for some change.
