My main burning question is this: Where do people who make more money for one job than I will make in my entire life get off threatening a strike? If I see 2000 patients a year, I'll average about $22.50 per patient!

How much money can these people need? They want a cut of every dollar made on projects that just happen to have their face, voice or mental input attached.

If they strike, not only do the consumers suffer, but all the other people involved in the movie industry: the guys and gals that make even less than I do, who don't get a cut of the future earnings of the project.

How do they feed their kids? Pay their mortgages? Do these millionaires even care? If they do, I don't see the evidence of it.

It's nice that they believe a strike vote 'now', during the current economic crisis, isn't the time to be putting people out of work.

Really? And just when IS it a good time?

The reality is that the majority of actors. don't even make enough to qualify for poverty.

The big named stars just choose sides as to what they think is best for the industry.

ANY American worker that strikes now is a fool. For every job in this country there are hundreds of people that are dying to take it.

My dislike of Hollywood grows daily, but my addiction to the media does not wane.

I have to work on that.

Gem - I feel your pain...my addiction is great. But my ire was pricked.
