“America is now obsessed by stars in an unhealthy way. They don’t actually deserve this kind of attention. They`re only actors – not scientists who are triumphing over cancer or doing some other wonderful thing.”

Now, when was this said? Very timely.
Ms. Jilly, I do think that comment was rather recent, and very insightful.
Oh my, where do we even draw the line? 🙂
Actors, models, fashion designers, magazine editors, fantasy authors, pop singers,… However, these days we begin to be obsessed with artisans of all trade more than before, and that is a good thing in my book.
I do like how the Internet exposes us to so many influences, but I wonder sometimes if it’s an info overload? Or maybe there are no more lines?
I like to think that we are enabled to know more (even though it can mean we drown in data, it’s better to have a multi-faceted world view. it might help create a wise, logical, kind human being of tomorrow)

the adult part of me ROFLs at this naïveté right now
It may be a good thing; it lets our scientists get on with doing what they do best, quietly and efficiently.
