Evidently the guy has no sense of humor. C'mon, I'd rather idiots who don't know shit NOT vote. He thinks because he has a kid now that he's got the lock on a preachy soapbox. I don't think he understands whether your kid is fighting Iraq or not we're ALL in harm's way with the terrorists out for our blood. What a punk, there's no escaping that reality, war in Iraq or not.
below is a quote from the story:
'That slacker attitude evidently angered Penn, and like the Hulk, you wouldn't like him when he's angry. "I never mind being of service, in satire and silliness," Penn is quoted as saying in the letter (good thing, because he's reportedly mocked in the movie). "I do mind when anybody who doesn't have a child, doesn't have a child at war, or isn't or won't be in harm's way themselves, is encouraging that there's 'no shame in not voting if you don't know what you're talking about.'"
