- People have a lot of time to spend at mass entertainment places.
- Important issues may be introduced in such activities spiced with
- some fun to attract attention. I'm not speaking of indoctrination
- where people are herded into doing something, but stimulus for
- thinking may be given. People may become interested in broadening
- their lives, solving problems, etc. One example is the environment.
- It's more than a cleanup and hygiene problem. There's recycling,
- efficiency, improvement, you name it. The entertainment industry
- might suggest solutions, but I think it would be best to let the
- problems hit home.
