Celebrities with Political Opinions

Celebrities with political opinions

Everyone is entitled to their opinion—this is the free world—and celebrities are no exception.  However, free speech aside, “the invisible hand” of free market economics does apply to everyday interactions.

Let me illustrate my point:  Donald Sutherland is saying things that I don’t agree with.  In fact, I’m certain that there are several people who are very, very peeved off at these sorts of remarks (instead of me being just peeved).  However, when people say these things we can choose not to listen or to avoid these people and the things that they do & say.  

It’s free market economics applied to personal interactions.  People have the right to say it, but you also have a right not to hear the stuff coming out of their mouths.
