>"And this instinct to humiliate, when it's modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. And the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose. OK. Go on with that thing. This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold power to account, to call them on the carpet for every outrage. That's why our founders enshrined the press and its freedoms in our constitution. >Meryl Streep (2017 Golden Globe speech) http://ift.tt/2iUKhn6 [Source](http://ift.tt/KwQ5rO) Awesome actress, a beautiful humanitarian - inside and out, and all-round wonderful person. I need to catch up on some of her work. From Emmeline Pankhurst to Amanda Priestly, a Witch, Margaret Thatcher (some would say same part, different costume), Blue Mecha in A.I. and Madeline Ashton, all the way back to 1975 when she began her career. Meryl Streep has played different parts, created personas and characters so diverse and yet still believable. From suffragette to tyrant, French Lieutenant's Woman to living dead screen idol, the speech quoted above shows me (at least) that she's not gotten above herself, despite her many successes. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J http://ift.tt/2j97fEv
