   Unfortunately movie stars can support political candidates or causes
   and people (including the media) give them coverage as though they
   knew something special.  Scientists usually don't get as much
   attention (unless they speak out in support of some popular or
   politically correct idea)....

Well, movie stars sometimes get elected, so maybe that makes their opinions
weightier than those of mere scientists :-))  [Or perhaps :-(( would
be more appropriate?]
