My quick notion on why Hollywood is predominantly liberal:

to be an artist, and an actor in particular, requires you are able to walk in someone else's shoes. To have empathy, and sympathy. To care about others-- their feelings, their reactions, their plights. To not be selfish, but to be inclusive and all-encompassing. I am convinced actors and artists are blessed with more spindle cells in their frontal lobe than perhaps the average homo sapiens.
It stands to reason that this impacts their ways of living and thinking and being as well. I am very glad about it and wish that more folks followed their example. I always tell my oldest, a budding young scientist trying to zero in on a field of study and research, (in 6th grade already, and he doesn't have it from me, this math and science brain, trust me), that if he can find a way to duplicate and inject spindle-cells in the un-empathetic, he will have achieved world peace.



Here's hoping!
