I think that most people see it that way, but the population that looks up to
an entertainer has grown in the last couple of decades.

It goes back to the destruction of our society - especially our education
system.

Yes, but I think it's normal to ignore the opinions of a doctor, for example,
when you need to know how to install a tub drain.

This, I think, is something that is learned and I'll take another dig at our
failed education system for it.

But did you want to live in that neighborhood because of what the doctor said,
or because that person is a doctor?
