"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Why We Should Ignore the Political Views of Entertainment Celebrities
Submitted by KenK on Fri, 2015-02-27 01:00
"[With] very rare exceptions, there is no reason to believe that actors, directors, rock stars, and other such celebrities have any more insight into public policy than the average person on the street. ... [Although] Patricia Arquette might well be a good actress, it is unlikely that she has any special insight into the wage gap between men and women, or how best to deal with it."

It might be important for those of us trying to be libertarians to remember certain basic facts: The power elite have their grubby fingers in all media: religion, entertainment, news, et al. Especially "science". Little, if anything, comes out of the entertainment industry that has not been sanitized.
For the good of us all, of course.
Them anarchists and sovereign citizens are everywhere.
