<p>I’m sorry to bring up an old thread here, but I’ve been reading some of this and I just thougt that I would put my two cents in.</p>
<p>One thing I have thought is a problem with the modern theater for a longtime is that the writers, directors, producers and so on seem to forget that about half the country (and I’m speaking as an American here) holds fairly Conservative view points, and when play after play, movie after movie shows them as being stupid, evil rednecks who want to starve babies and beat up the homeless you are going to lose a huge potential audience.</p>
<p>Speaking as a conservative myself (shocking I know, but there are about 5 MT conservatives in the world today) I don’t like when a show takes a clearly liberal stance, but I also wouldn’t like a clearly conservative stance. </p>
<p>In my mind liberals and conservatives have more in common than they like to admit, look at the movie “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” for instance, every liberal will say James Stewarts character was a liberal and every conservative will say James Stewarts character was a conservative. I think it would be great if there were more shows like that, a message show where a liberal and a conservative could both watch without feeling that there views were being mocked and ridiculed.</p>
