  Yes, They should be treated like Doctors & Lawyers, not like semigods.
  
  Ps: But Cho uses this when he wants to rescue the actors .

  When comes to TN Politics, Cho supports only the actors . He extended support for MGR to float a new party saying that he would do great reforms to TN (and later he criticized him .. But it had some logic) .. Now he supports and encourages Rajini to enter the politics.
  
  Why can't he ask treat Doctors & Lawyers to treat like Actors and support somebody from that field to form a Party?

  Sorry Raghu..that wz not my point. Itz said by Mr. Cho of Tuglaq weekly..!! But in my opinion, even nowadays MOST OF THE doctors are also rely on the MONEY only instead of SERVICE. No need to talk about the lawyers!!!

  alwaysright,
  
  No need 2 appologise, u said nothing wrong :)
  regarding Dr, yes I agree most of DR are money minded, they even ask £10 for a Medical Certificate, here in UK, which does not go to the government or charity, but in their pockets, an average Dr, here in Uk earns about £50,000 pa, that's some thing like Rs.350,000, still they want to feed the pockets, real sad ppl.
  
  regarding lawyers, they are not that bad here in UK, but in India, well money buy ppl :)

  othing wrong in CHO's statement .
  
  Any person having voting power is eligible to involve in politics .So we cannot say "Actors should not involve in politics" .But we can have a opinion "People must have better choice ,and they must consider the visionary ,ebility of leadership,consitutional and social knowledge when they elect a leader instead of merely support an actor just for he is good in acting" .At the same time nobody can say Actors cannot have knowlefge and social conciousness .Even CHO has started his carrier as a Comedy actor and stage artist ,now he is one of the leading Political analyser ,though I disgree with many of his views . What he says is...politics is not exclusive for any group of people ..There are many doctors ( Dr.Ramdoss ,Dr.Krishnasamy ,Dr.Kumaradass ) in politics .Many politicians are lawyers .So it's upto the personal ability of a person ,doesn't depend on his proffesional .I am not supporting TN people mentality of selecting their leaders from cine field contineously .
  
  My wish is Rajini should promote people like Chidambaram .When people support of Rajini and elite people like Chidamparam join together to work for people ,It will be good for TN

  Well said Milton! I agree fully that TN will benefit from the likes of Chidambaram and if Rajini wants to support any politician, Chidambaram is the one.
  
  "I am not supporting TN people mentality of selecting their leaders from cine field contineously . "
  
  Yes, isn't this a dangerous trend! (And that is my fear with regards to Vijayakanth. But that's another issue). Unfortunately, popularity wins the day; especially if you are a celebrity. The biggest and most popular mass media in TN is cinema. That's why there is a trend for politicians who enter the cinefield to gain popularity first, then enter a politial office with ease. Or even the other way around; when cine stars can retire from cinema into politics due to popularity. Half their job of canvassing for votes is already done through movies.

  I'm bit confused with ur views here. Earlier u said that itz all depends on their personal ability. But on the next word itself, u disagree with TN peoples mentality for selecting our leaders from the Cine field. Well...u have to accept one thing. There are lot of people coming to the politics from other fields also..like u said some doctors, lawyers, etc., But they didnt get success as much as the cine filed personalities success in the politics. Why not u consider it as their personal ability?! I dont know whatz wrong in it to select our leaders continuously from the same industry. Ofcourse there are people like in Bihar who r selecting a same person continuously. Oh god...comparing with the Bihar people, our people are much much better..!!

  Hi AlwaysRight,
  
  
  In the field of Medicine, Science, Engineering , IT and even Cinema field, we excel more than any other states in India and can compete with many developed Countries. But In Politics, we are in the pathetic situation that we have to be satisfied that we are better than Bihar. A sad Truth...

  Actors like everyone else have every right to participate in politics. But should the people vote for them? That should be decided based on the actor's actual policies, opinions instead of his onscreen actions and statements. The unfortunate problem is that what is seen on the screen registers in the subconscious of the viewer and people tend to think that a onscreen hero is indeed a hero in real life and vice versa for villians. I have heard stories that people used to curse Nambiar bigtime when he was acting as a villian!
  
  In my opinion, if Rajini wants to participate in politics he should form a party or join a party and show what he can do. I simply don't like this idea of him supporting someone and asking people to vote for that person. Issuing statements has "Zero" responsibility associated with it.
  
  This is similar to what Bal Thackeray does in Maharashtra. He will not become CM. But he will have his say in everything. Thackeray will get credit for good things. If something goes wrong, the CM will get blamed. Thackeray may claim that he doesn't want "Pathivi". The truth is any "Pathivi" - CM, PM or whatever- is a hot seat. You get a lot of power with the post, but along with it comes responsibility. You will be the first one to be blamed if something goes wrong. It does take some guts to become a leader.
  
  For about 10 years, Rajini has been threatening to enter politics. That's a long time to make a decision. It's been all talk and no action. Even in his recent statement, he said he will answer his critics in the elections. He should enter active politics (with Chidambaram, Karunanidhi or whoever he wants) and show us what he can actually do. If not, he should simply stay out of it.
