Considering a bold denunciation of Harvey Weinstein
A friend’s Facebook post:
So proud of friend and high school buddy, Paul Feig…he’s always stood up against injustice. (link to “Bridesmaids director Paul Feig condemns Harvey Weinstein: ‘Men need to speak up'” (Guardian))
The article is dated October 10, 2017, i.e., two days after the New York Times reported that Mr. Weinstein had been fired and no longer held any job within Hollywood. Thus my comment on the friend’s post:
He took a big risk by speaking up about Weinstein after the man had been fired. He Spoke Truth to Has-Been!
This Feig guy plus other men in Hollywood coming out with similar denunciations of Harvey has led me to a momentous decision: I am considering my own bold denunciation of Harvey Weinstein.
Despite the risk to my career as a helicopter instructor, only slightly reduced by the fact that Mr. Weinstein likely exceeds the 300 lb. per-seat limitation of a Robinson R44, I am now thinking about going on record to express my disapproval of this unemployed guy.
Readers: When do you think it will be safe for me to finally release a public condemnation of Mr. Weinstein’s reprehensible behavior? I am almost ready to stand up against injustice.
