One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat it won't jump out. Instead it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

When you go off in the world and make your life and you come back to your home town and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles doing the same things that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block little town. It doesn't really grow or change.
