Same here. Many in the Hollywood crowd are interested in only gathering fame for themselves and making their legacy greater. They don't care about other people. Take Martin Sheen. I could care less about what Sheen has to say about the war in iraq. Just because he is the president on tv with a script written by someone else doesn't mean I will listen to him.

I read in my paper today that Richard Gere said "Why is it when we have 10 million people in this country who say 'no,' we still have a president who says 'yes'? In a democracy, something's wrong here," The person who wrote about this in the paper, added her thoughts and said "Um, Richard, I'm not exactly sure how many people actually have said "no," but here's what may be wrong. At last count, there were 290,467,502 people in the United States, which means you're down about 280 million." I think this is one of those things (out of a few that this person noted) that shows the intellect of the Hollywood celebrities who expect us to listen to what they think. Of course they have a right to express their opinion, but they really should know that we, as fans or movie-goers or CD-buyers or whatever, don't have to agree with their views just because they are celebrities, and in fact, we can laugh at some of the very stupid comments they make. I guess I expect people who have to be in the public eye to put a little thought into what they say before they say it if they want to be taken seriously.
