*sigh* Celebrities... Is there ANYTHING they don’t know?

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

QUOTES AUTHORS ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

Robert A. Heinlein Quotes and Sayings

“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously-after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important ... so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he/she opens his/her mouth.”

— Robert A. Heinlein

Actors (and actresses) are HYPOCRITES.

To find proof of this one only need consult a dictionary.
