So.

I do not think celebrities opinions are any more relevant then anyone else.

But I hate the mentality that if a celebrity thinks something:

a) It must be dumb, because celebrities have no access to the ability to research something.

b) They have no right to express it.

Yes, if a celebrity is telling me one thing, and a trained professional in that area is telling me another, I'm going not going to go "But Leonardo Dicaprio is famous so he must be right!"

But if a celebrity is saying something backed up with a lot of research and they just happen to be the one saying it...that doesn't negate it.

And since the people saying "They are uninformed and have no right to say their opinion." are usually Joe Blows with no experiences in the area of conversation, I'm always like "Oh, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning!"

They have just as much right to say something in the way they want as anyone else. And I see a lot of bitterness that they have access to louder ways to say it. But hell...I hate the example, but look at Fred Phelps. You don't have to be rich and famouse to say something and say it loud.

And while I'm ranting: I am not a conspiracy nut. But I have looked into them enough to know they aren't all BS.

They might accumulate to BS, but everything within them is not BS. There are facts, and often weird and relevant facts.

And if you dismiss it all, you look as dumb as the people convinced that the planet is run by a secret race of Reptilian people who replaced the moon, shot JFK, and caused September 11th. If people (Who cared...if you don't care either way...meh) then I think a lot of "Conspiracies" could be solved. But a bunch of people who don't have enough of the story get together, and the way they fill the gaps is what gets so ridiculous.
