Reading one of the current blogs dealing with Zuckerberg vaccinating his child, it reinforces the idea that too many people are sheep.
Too many will follow and/or endorse what is said just because a celebrity, like Jenny McCarthy, said it so it must be true.
There are many celebrities that are quite intelligent and do know what they are talking about. However, there are just as many that have some talent or have become celebrities through reality shows that people now think actually know more than the guy that’s living next door to you.
For instance the Kardashians’ claim to fame is their father, one of the team of lawyers that defended OJ Simpson. Big whoop.
The thirst for reality celebrities, mainly because those shows are cheap to make, have elevated people to a status they never would have achieved otherwise. Who cares about the day to day lives of the real wives of Beverly Hills/Atlanta/New York/ad nauseum?
Someone can sing or play sports or act. That doesn’t mean that they actually know anything about current events or issues.
The public needs to quit worshiping at the altar of celebrities and watch something other than reality shows and actually learn about what’s going on around them….and I don’t mean watching Faux News.
