Merry Christmas everyone!  I pray your Christmas celebration with your family was wonderful.
 
I know many people plan to spend some of their time off with their families by going to the movies - mainly this weekend.  One of the movies that came out just yesterday (Christmas Day) is "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" staring Brad Pitt.  I recommend that you NOT see this movie.  My recommendation is not due to the content of the movie. Rather it is due to Brad Pitt exercising his right to support the No on Prop. 8 campaign by giving it $100,000.
 
While I support Mr. Pitt's right to express his opinion in a political campaign, I also reserve the right to express MY opinion by NOT going to see his movie.  If I did, I would indirectly support his fight against traditional marriage.  Most actors at his level get a "piece of the box office proceeds" and, therefore, I strongly suspect that if I spend $10 to see this movie, a portion of that $10 would go to Mr. Pitt.
 
Therefore I will be seeing some other movie - perhaps "Marley & Me" (My wife and I have a yellow Labrador :-) .  Of course I have no guarantee that someone in that movie doesn't support the No on Prop. 8 campaign (such as Mr. Pitt's former spouse Jennifer Aniston), but I have no actual knowledge of that.  Since I have actual knowledge of Mr. Pitt's large donation to a cause against my values, I am knowingly exercising my right to not support that cause.

I guess you can call this activism at the movies!
