Latest evidence: She's against eating animals, which is fine. But like more than a few people who are against eating animals, she doesn't quite put her ideas across as well as she might:
...consideration, as promoted by Michael Pollan in The Omnivore's Dilemma, which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don't believe in rape, but if it's what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it).
Talking of absurdity, Miss Portman, you do realize that if you flip that idea, it means that since I had lunch at Burger King yesterday, I might as well've stopped off on the way home to get a good rape in, doesn't it?
For that matter, Portman is one of those who signed the petition to have charges dropped against Roman Polanski. So her making reference to overlooking a reprehensible crime out of consideration for other ideals may not be the smartest thing she ever did.
