To say the shit has hit the proverbial fan and we have hit the bottom of the barrel would also be putting things mildly. When the bottom line becomes more important than our freedom of expression and the right to speak ones mind, than it is time to revisit and re-examine the Constitutions of USA, Europe and most of the other Democratic countries around our globe and ask, what has happened to our moral centre. The bullies of the world have us by the proverbial royal kahunas.\u00a0It is less to do with North Korea or Sony Pictures, than the fact that ones freedom of expression can be coerced by a bullying nation, state or group of induviduals. That is grave.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_32158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32158\" style=\"width: 318px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/images.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32158\" src=\"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/images.jpeg\" alt=\"&quot;The Interview&quot;\" width=\"318\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;The Interview&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How is this even possible, you might ask? I think it is because what counts most in our Greedy, Me for Me society is the bottom line. That overwhelming corporate pressure for the bottom line mentality has finally conquered most of our concept of ethics and morality and left us totally barren and incapable of responding to these underhanded forms of blackmail. We have lost our centre, our base our frame of moral and ethical orientation. It is so out of control that we haven&#8217;t even the vocabulary or frame of reference to deal with our Social morass. It is time to push the reset button and attempt to redefine why we are here and what it is we can do to improve and ameliorate our present conundrum we are in. Because that is the state\u00a0we are in. So Hollywood, grow a pair and do the right thing. Let what has been expressed, be expressed. The truth can often be painful, \u00a0But truth also heals&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>it is time to revisit the Constitutions of USA, Europe and most of the other Democratic countries around our globe and ask, what has happened to our moral centre<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32158,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[6,1209,1210,1211],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paG8MM-8mE","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5269,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/talking-about-bkblog\/frederique-renaut-how-did-you-get-there-interview\/","url_meta":{"origin":32156,"position":0},"title":"The Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Renaut &quot;How did you get there?&quot; Interview","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"February 9, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Renaut from Benjamin Kanarek Blog being interviewed by Kristi Thompson for her fabulous blog \"How Did You Get There\"?","rel":"","context":"In &quot;They're talking about us...&quot;","block_context":{"text":"They're talking about us...","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/talking-about-bkblog\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/tiffany-co.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/tiffany-co.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/tiffany-co.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":13525,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/celebrities\/snowdance-fashion-sundance-film-festival\/","url_meta":{"origin":32156,"position":1},"title":"Snowdance Fashion at the Sundance Film Festival","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"January 25, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Independent Hollywood filmmakers take over the small town of Park City, Utah, for the Sundance film festival - A perfect time to take to the beautiful slopes of the Canyon resort","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Celebrities&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Celebrities","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/celebrities\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Sundance-Film-Festival-560x324.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Sundance-Film-Festival-560x324.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Sundance-Film-Festival-560x324.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":3512,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/celebrities\/hommage-aaron-russo\/","url_meta":{"origin":32156,"position":2},"title":"An Hommage to Aaron Russo","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"December 22, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"America, Freedom to Fascism The below article taken from \"Advocates for Self Government\" Watch this Video series with Film maker and Music Producer Aaron Russo who sadly died in 2007.\u00a0 We lost a wonderful Human Being a Real \"Mensch\".\u00a0 I can only imagine what he might have accomplished had he\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Celebrities&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Celebrities","link":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/category\/celebrities\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/America-Freedom-to-Fascism-pic1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":13461,"url":"https:\/\/thebkmag.com\/rebuild\/celebrities\/68th-annual-golden-globes-gowns-galore-part-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":32156,"position":3},"title":"The 68th Annual Golden Globes Gowns Galore Part 2","author":"Benjamin Kanarek","date":"January 22, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"It has been a week since the Golden Globes and I can\u2019t help but wonder whether there are any wardrobe regrets amongst Sunday\u2019s winners.
