Monday, December 10, 2007 Make A Difference Monday: Trek Day on the Picket Lines

United Hollywood is reporting (here: http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2007/12/tomorrow-is-trek-day.html) that today is Trek Day on the picket lines. My partner grew up watching reruns of original Star Trek. I loved Next Gen and DS9. For many, these television shows were an introduction into realms of science fiction and fantasy. Though I always was a book fan, I still remember watching the Enterprise swoop across the television.

So why am I posting this on Make a Difference Monday? Because the writer's guild strike is not over. Not by a long shot. And the truth of the matter is, writers should get paid. Downloads, DVD sales, syndication, writers should get paid for their work. So ask if I support the writers, I'll say HELL YEAH! I did a podcast with Nikki Alton/Genie Davis who used to write for movies and television. It's hard work! It's scary work! And I applaud the people who do it.

So today's "Make a Difference Monday" is simply a shout out of support to those hard working writers. And a reminder that they're still on strike and they still need our support.
