And yet, whenever I try to tell people that entertainment is a direct extension of the military-industrial complex, they look at me like I have two heads! Oh well... We make decisions, we live with the consequences. If you have blind faith in a late-night talk show host dude or in Rachel from 'Friends', I respect that. But don't bully ME, and certainly don't come crying to me!
Why would any thinking person assume that a 'celebrity' has knowledge about vaccines, about climate, about anything much but what they are celebrated for?? They may do, but they should be accorded no higher level of knowledge per se than your average man/woman/other in the street.
