With Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon delivering truckloads of signed petitions to the UN today against the war, the question arises, do celebritites carry more weight on your political views than every day citizens? Should they even be given air time on the news for their protests? Would you rather get your political stances from CNN, Martin Sheen, coworkers or some other place?

Good question there, Agger!
Not only no, but HELL NO! I'm all for freedom of speech, but with that freedom comes certain responsibilities.
Sure, I'll listen to the opposing point of view, even though I may violently disagree with it. They have the right to take their political views to the mass media, but I reserve the right to turn off my TV set or change the channel.
