I think a HUGE issue is the credit we give the famous and the blind followings they seem to get from so many that refuse to think for themselves. I'm so sick of seeing the famous empowered for what we ALL have - opinions.
I'm a free speech proponent, and always will be, but when we suddenly ONLY seem to care about what a few are saying as if they somehow have the inside track of info that's important, we just became the sheep we keep fighting to not become. No one should hinge their views on what Kanye or Sean Penn are saying, or Chelsea Handler, or whomever the flavor of the month is on Twitter. Think for yourself - I don't see that much anymore. Far too many just say what they're fed, not even knowing the meaning of what they spew. Drives me nuts...
