Quote:
A more useful petition might be one that proposes the idea that Hollywood actors and acrtresses are grossly overpaid and that their salaries should be lowered to something more realistic. Why do we, in this country, insist that those who entertain us are the most valuable and therefore costly of people? Why not value say, TEACHERS for example, and pay them the kinds of salaries actors and pro sports players make and reduce the pay to those in entertainment to something more down-to-earth? Ugh. Just my $.02.

First of all no online petition is useful, that's an oxymoron in itself, and as a sweeping generalization, petitions are wastes of time and space where more relevant information could have been put.
Secondly, if teachers were to be among the higher paid then aspirations of the majority of future generations would be to become teachers. Therefore emphasis would be placed on theory and concepts, rather than application of such and would be a step backwards in the economy.
