These actors pontificate about “traveling the world,” as if that gives them some mantle of moral authority within in the political realm. Many of us peasants have traversed the globe as well. We’ve seen the dark corners of the world absent of Western Civilization where nasty, brutish, and short are the norm. Just not said about these actors are that these trips to places like Cannes, France for red carpet events, or a highly scripted guided tour of Kenya’s savannah does not make them arbiters to tell us what’s best.

Excellent point, Arthur! They are so full of shit with their pretentious nonsense. Drop them into some nasty hellhole in another country and then let's see what they have to say, if they survive the experience.

"Traveling the world" may not end with the result the elitists want, especially if it ends up with more "regular" citizens talking with fellow non-elites. (I'm implying that non-elite is a good thing.)

Very true, Hana. Poor and working-class people have much more in common with each other, regardless of which country they live in.

Sharon Stone. I had to look in IMBD to see if she'd done anything since the 90's. She has, usually one shitty movie a year, and I've never heard of any of them.

If this was a fascist society, she'd be making movies for free or she'd be tilling the fields.

I know, she's awful. You have to wonder how she has had a career in the first place. She was never all that great of an actress, though she had her appeal for some people in her younger years. I never cared for her though as she came across to me as just another disposable Hollywood idiot, I'm surprised she has lasted as long as she has.

Traveling like she means it is bad for the environment. Is not that what they tell us? At least as adolescent we are able to learn while Ms Sharon”show my sausage wallet” Stone gets old, irrelevant and useless.

Why give these attention whores what they crave. Her opinion means absolutely nothing.

I believe their hysteria swells due to the fact, that they do own the proverbial microphone. That they believe the are special, therefore, their beliefs are correct. They really don't understand how the slack-jawwed rubes don't get it. As for travel as enlightenment, I spent one year a piece in Nigeria, Bombay, and Singapore ( work ). Guess which one I would live in a heartbeat?
