sometimes, being "over the top" can stop horrible things from happening...........
Black people used to be enclosed in America--most non blacks seemed to have thought that fine, and would balk at anyone suggesting that black people were human in years past
Jewish people used to be "banned" in certain areas of America.....in the south, pools commonly had signs that said "no dogs or Jews allowed." Needless to say, most of the civilized world stoodby while millions of Jews, gay people, Gypsies, etc.. were slaughtered in Nazi Germany.
Women used to be not allowed to vote in America and hitting them was considered ok and a private family matter. It was also fine to not offer women work and to pay them less than men, etc.
PASSIONATE, hardworking leaders helped to change all of these conditions.
Traditionally, theater people, especially actors, are very often rather emotional and passionate people, in general. I am very passionate about helping any human being or any living creature in peril. I have been for many decades.
Singular people CAN and do MAKE a difference. You just have to devote the time and energy and if you can, money. The way the world is run and the decisions that are made every day that effect the way people live,,,,,well, to begin with, those types of decisions are made by those who, if nothing else, simply, "show up." Those who "show up" get to vote at the Board meetings and make a difference. Those who show up at the voting booths, show up and vote and make a difference.
We only get one life in this world. Why not try living that one life with caring and compassion for other people and living creatures?
