Merv,
a stereotypical SouthwesternerHi, I'm Merv. I'm a television writer and producer, and I'm a "bleeding-heart liberal." That's right. I'm not going to apologize-I care about people. Those conservative corporate types are just stick-in-the-muds who are only interested in protecting their own pocketbooks and telling others what to do. Personally, I'm very tolerant of the personal lifestyle choices that other people make-after all, I deal with strung-out actors, a variety of men and women who work in the sex industry, and egomaniacal directors every day.
I'm offended by the men in suits who see everything-even art-through the green-colored glasses of greed. Not everything is for sale, nor should it be. I'm quite politically active. I attend a variety of the very best liberal fundraisers each year. I happen to be very concerned about justice, and I proudly offer my support to politicians who are working to invest more in education, healthcare, welfare and the environment.
