Really? Have you placed YOUR name on a ballot? If not, by your own reasoning, why would your opinion hold water?
Because I am not a celebrity who has a stage available to them. I have the modern day soapbox. I can only reach those within hearing distance. the celebrity can reach the world.
What makes my Opinion worth listening to? I usually have thought about my positions, if it is my opinion you know it is my opinion. If I have something to back it up I show those facts. If not it's just an asshole like yours. Yep we've all still got one.
Sometimes I have a learned opinion, sometimes it's just the way I was raised, sometimes it's just because that's how I feel. But what's best about all our opinions is that if any of us give a shit about what others think of them; well; that's a real problem.
Why don't I pay that much attention to celebrities? Do you remember drunk Whoopie? Love the woman's movies, but she needs to stay off the political stage. Along with the rest of them.
Now think what ever you like about my opinion, It really matters little to me.
(Why did I waste 2 minutes even writing this?)
Almost forgot, I have turned down 2 different chances to run for Public office since retiring from the US Army.
