Academy Awards

I was pleasantly surprised at the restraint and in most cases support for at least our troops during the Academy Awards last night. Really only 2 participants voiced criticism and/or opposition. One of them was not even an American and was greeted with mostly looks of shock and disgust from most attendees. The second was highly vocal in opposition and was openly booed by numerous attendees while most were again shocked and appalled by his comments with only a few scattered supporters.

I am somewhat unhappy with the press coverage today after the ceremony because they cannot and do not even attempt to explain the expressions of disapproval on the attendees faces even if they were not vocal.

Despite some silent expression by selected actors/actresses (wearing of peace symbols), I feel that the conduct was worthy of respect.
