If only that were true. Celebrity here also seems to be worshiped. So many people "wanna be" Paris Hilton. What has she achieved? Certainly she was lucky by birth... but that isn't an achievement. Yet so many people seem to value here and follow here every move.
Also, as someone else many in the US equate popularity and riches with achievement. It really is a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" type issue here isn't it?
