I’ve had enough of Arnold
Except for Conan the Barbarian, I never saw any Arnold Schwarzenegger movies until after the birth of my first child, and at first it was only his comedies with Danny DeVito. This changed after I had been lifting weights for around four or five years.
I started regularly training with weights in my second year of college, 1991/92. A couple years after graduating, I started to get serious about it, and bought Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding (I found out the hard way that the work-out routines in this book are not productive).
After reading this book, I became a big Schwarzenegger fan. This was just before Eraser came out, so I was renting every Schwarzenegger video I could find; some of them two or three times. I admit that there’s a lot of moral problems with most of them, but than, the same could be said for most movie stars, even Mel Gibson.
When Arnold became Governor of California, I was a little disappointed because it was unlikely he’d make anymore movies, at least until he got out of politics as his main profession. As California’s governor, my opinion of Arnold seems to drop every time I read something new about him in the news. This headline from all.org is the last straw: “Schwarzenegger signs bill teaching stem cell lies to children.”
The California Chronicle seems to have taken down the original article, but SaveCalifornia.com reports on it here:

He seems like such a good person. How come he does such bad stuff as governor?
It sure would be nice if he followed the pro-life example of his in-laws, Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver. It looks like he’s following more of the anti-life example of Eunice’s brothers. Too bad!
