8. And Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson.
Should help bring in some contributions.

However, I am not convinced that Hollywood has the power to influence enough people to get someone nominated or elected. Has that ever happened? Does anyone know?

Don't get me wrong, This is a great thing. And as someone concerned with the environment, this is a flag to me that Clark's environmental positions are more environmentally friendly than some others.

"They can be a great people Kal-El, if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way... Your help will be called for endlessly, even for those tasks which human beings could solve themselves. It is their habit to abuse their resources in such a way" --Jor-El, Superman: The Movie

6. Hey! I remember that quote differently...
"Live as one of them, Kal-El. Discover where your strength and your power are needed. But always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El. They wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all others, I have sent them you, my only son."

7. I spliced the two. The second half...
"Your help will be called for endlessly, even for those tasks which human beings could solve themselves. It is their habit to abuse their resources in such a way"

...is from an extended Jor-El (formerly cut) scene in the new Special Edition DVD.
