   I am always amazed at how celebrities can have such and outsized impact   
   on people's opinions.  They are no better than politicians.  Skilled   
   liars.

   Entertainers fail at basic life skills like marriage and children yet "know"   
   how the rest of us schmucks should live. They become dangerous if handed a   
   hammer or screwdriver, tools are weapons. I've noticed that among city   
   people too. I've heard a hammer called a New York screwdriver.   
      
   At a Massachusetts job I was briefly cut off from the Internet for inquiring   
   during lunch about parts for a chainsaw, a terror weapon to them.
