Like What You Say Matters

Just saw a brief line on MSN. Stated something to the effect of , "Brad Pitt's harsh words for BP and other celebrity quotes". Ok, do any of YOU actually care what celebs say? Is anyone actually influnced by what these pampered whinebags do? I'm sure there are some. What baffles me is that we have devolved into a society void of any coherent thought by so many people. I know I wake up and get on the PC to see what famous people say so I know how to live my life. I remember it wasn't that long ago that Bono from U2 was imploring people to give til it hurt for whatever cause he was promoting that week. Now, don't get me wrong, I am all for giving help where needed. I tend to raise an eyebrow though to someone who tries layin guilt on us and still gets upwards of 250.00 per ticket to see his band in concert. Really? How bout lowering the price so we have more to give your cause, oh wait, that would make sense. Nevermind. Anyhow, maybe we need to pay attention to the real needs around us instead of worrying what the rich and spoiled think. Ya know, like paying teachers more, getting more money for our security here at home, paying a big thanks to our current and past veterans. There are so many other ways to improve our surroundings and life instead of giving a rats ass bout what Brad Pitt thinks.
