Charlton Heston had Mercury oppose Eris with 20 minutes of
arc,Ascendant conjunct Geocentric South Eris Node in Scorpio in 1st
house with 23 minutes of arc and oppose Geocentric North Eris Node in
Taurus in 7th house with 1'23 0rb. His ascendant is oppose/conjunct
heliocentric Eris Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio with 57 minutes of arc.
This could indicate his standing up for one's rights(one of the things
that Zane Stein listed as one of Eris preliminary keywords)fit with
advocacy. I mentioned about Eris in regards to civil rights,race
relations matters,and even issues of political correctness as well as
diversity in general. He communicated about those things.
Here is some stuff that pertains to all that.
Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956
and John F. Kennedy in 1960.[11] When an Oklahoma movie theater
premiering his movie was segregated, he joined a picket line outside
in 1961.[12] During the civil rights march held in Wa****ngton, D.C. in
1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr. In later speeches, Heston
said he helped the civil rights cause, "long before Hollywood found it
fa****onable."
By the 1980s, Heston opposed affirmative action, sup****ted gun rights
and changed his political affiliation from Democratic to Republican.
[17] He campaigned for Republicans and Republican Presidents Ronald
Reagan,[18] George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Heston resigned from Actors Equity, claiming the union's refusal to
allow a white actor to play a Eurasian role in "Miss Saigon" was
"obscenely racist."
According to his autobiography In the Arena, Heston recognized the
right of freedom of speech exercised by others. In a 1997 speech, he
rhetorically deplored a culture war he said was being conducted by a
generation of media, educators, entertainers, and politicians against:
"...the God fearing, law-abiding, Caucasian, middle- class Protestant-
or even worse, evangelical Christian, Midwestern or Southern- or even
worse, rural, apparently straight-or even worse, admitted
hetero***uals, gun-owning-or even worse, NRA-card-carrying, average
working stiff-or even worse, male working stiff-because, not only
don't you count, you are a down-right obstacle to social progress.
Your voice deserves a lower decibel level, your opinion is less
enlightened, your media access is insignificant, and frankly, mister,
you need to wake up, wise up, and learn a little something from your
new-America and until you do, would you mind shutting up?"
In an address to students at Harvard Law School entitled Winning the
Cultural War, Heston said, "If Americans believed in political
correctness, we'd still be King George's boys - subjects bound to the
British crown."[23] He went on:
"The Constitution was handed down to guide us by a bunch of wise old
dead white guys who invented our country! Now some flinch when I say
that. Why! Its true-they were white guys! So were most of the guys
that died in Lincoln's name opposing slavery in the 1860s. So why
should I be ashamed of white guys? Why is "Hispanic Pride" or "Black
Pride" a good thing, while "White Pride" conjures shaven heads and
white hoods? Why was the Million Man March on Wa****ngton celebrated by
many as progress, while the Promise Keepers March on Wa****ngton was
greeted with suspicion and ridicule? I'll tell you why, Cultural
warfare!"
He later stated, "Political correctness is tyranny with manners."

I actually liked him as an actor. I loved his movies. My favorites of
his are Ten Commandments,Ben Hur,and El Cid. and I also watched
Dynasty:The Colbys which he starred in as the patriarch of the Colby
Clan.
I don't believe that there is anything wrong with having white
pride,black pride,hispanic pride,or any pride of one's
race,nationality. My late maternal grandfather had ****tuguese pride to
the point that even referred to all his grandchildren as little
****tagee after we're first born,and I think that's kinda cute.
I see nothing wrong with me having multiracial pride. Tiger Woods have
no problem with it either with his referring to himself as
Cablanasian.
Therefore,I believe that Charlton made some good points.
I am not for affirmative action. I believe that people should get in
based on race...especially if they are chosen over more qualified
people. I believe that everybody should be treated equally.
I admit that I am not an Afrocentric type. I am a multicultural type.
I notice,acknowledge racism as a multiracial problem. Any
racism,bigotry of any race is wrong. Both the Farrakhan wannabes and
the David Duke wannabes irritate me.
I also believe in the rights to bear arms. I believe that people have
the right to defend themselves. However,I believe that mental health
screening should be mandatory.
I am saying this especially as a person who and whose mother was
drastically changed by gun violence by a schizophrenic a long time
ago. I can see both sides of the issue.....the right to defend
yourself and the need to keep guns away from troubled types.
I would never own a gun.
I grew up and live in Sacramento,CA.
Here is an interesting fact about my hometown that I am proud of.
Sacramento is notably diverse racially, ethnically, and by household
income, and has a notable lack of inter-racial disharmony. In 2002,
Time magazine and the Civil Rights Project of Harvard University
identified Sacramento as the most racially/ethnically integrated major
city in America.[11] The U.S. Census Bureau also groups Sacramento
with other U.S. cities having a "High Diversity" rating of the
diversity index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento,_California
