Some actors grow up on camera. Ben Affleck appears to be growing up behind it.
Ten years ago, he was the pop-culture laughingstock of movies like “Pearl Harbor” and “Gigli,” derided for a very public relationship with Jennifer Lopez that sold millions of gossip magazines while inviting untold scorn. He had the swagger of a movie star, but it seemed unearned.

If Ben Afflek and Matt Damon cared as much about Massachusetts as they do about their global causes, they should speak out against what large corporations like State Street Corp (STT) are doing. STT's current CEO JAY HOOLEY and his Operations Man Allen Greene have worked hard to send over 3,200 AMerican Jobs to INDIA, after the firm recieved a $2 Billion US TARP bailout from the very Ameircans they hurt the most. As we speak State Street is dismantling its Fund Adminsitration Division (750) Boston jobs and sending these jobs to INDIA (In increments of 20-35 at a time to avoid public scrutiny). There are issues at home which need the support of public figures and as our economy is being harmed by a handful of execurives who are selling American jobs overseas for pennies on the dollar to make themselves incredibly wealthy, harm the future of Massachusett's children.
