I heartily agree -- the world today has ridiculous numbers of people speaking with authority on matters they know less than nothing about! Just because some triple-D bottle blonde gets paid a gazillion dollars for making some movie, doesn't mean I should listen to her opinions on the latest perceived social issue. She may well
be an expert in the area, but unless she demonstrates that expertise, in my book she's just another celeb mouthing off about stuff of which she knows not.
So, speaking as the guy who weighed in above with the position that we don't yet know enough to be speaking authoritatively, let me ask -- and I really do mean this as a sincere request, not a dig or cheap shot -- let me ask what expertise you bring to the discussion? I like to know that sort of thing when I'm considering folks comments, you see, and since this
is an area where I admit a fairly complete ignorance, I have no personal expertise within which to consider your comments.
