Plenty of celebrities have opinions but don't feel the need to air them publically. By making that choice, she does indeed presume that the public should/will pay attention. Of course, she can do what she wants as can they all but by throwing all those opinions out there she will reduce, not increase her fan base.

Oh, and aren't you old enough to have seen enough to realize that 'the mess we are in' isn't really much more of a mess then then mess we've pretty much always been in? Or are you one of those people who always thinks the sky is falling?
