I found out recently, through the mail, that through no doing of my own I have been registered as a Republican in my voting district. I have always remained unaffiliated with any political party as yet. How is it that this happened without my knowledge or consent? Why did it happen? And what should I do about it?

Maniac, call the Weber County Clerk/Auditor's office at (801) 399-8400.

Here is that department's web page: http://www1.co.weber.ut.us/Clerk_Auditor/

Good luck.

That being said, I still love Joss and look forward to reading about what he had to say at these house parties.

What is this odd idea that people have that because someone is famous they (a) aren't real citizens (b) shouldn't voice their opinions (c) their opinions don't/shouldn't matter?

I just don't understand this. Joss, like every other celeb, has just as much right (if not a duty) to voice his opinion on anything and everything from the elections to the pope to what color he thinks the next M&M should be, as you or I.

To say you 'don't like artists to mix with religon or politics.' is, and forgive me when I say this, somewhat asinine and pretty much flys in the face of what art/entertainment, in this country at least, is meant to be about.

We may not like or agree with what someone has to say but, that doesn't mean they don't have the right to say it.

Viva Le Whedon!

Ditto.

So you put Joss Whedon into this camp...

Separating church and state is nothing like seperating actors from political work. One is a founding principle of democracy while the other is a right! A civil liberty if you will.

Why would you care what some actor thinks? Why is it suddenly on your mind? Actors have been doing this since actors weren't simply killed for being degenerates.

Well, I'm from the school of Sir. John Gielgud when it comes to politics. During World War II, Cecil B. DeMille asked John Gielgud to go to the corner store to get a news paper in order to find out if France had fallen to the Germans. Upon his return Cecil asked, "John, has France fallen to the Germans?" John replied, "Not sure about France, but you should see the reviews on Noel Coward's new play!"
