I wish that celebrities could keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to politics and social issues.

But I think they're so full of themselves that they figure they have all of these admirers, and maybe, just maybe, they can influence some of the non-free-thinking admirers' opinions by spewing their own.

Really, we don't care. But the media thinks we do, so they ask it, and report it.

I wish they would just STFU when asked. But social media has now eliminated the need to even ask, hasn't it? So many news stories now are nothing more than a listing of Tweets! Who needs reporters when the stories write themselves?
