Ran across this recently, and thought I'd share as it makes total sense to me.
The United States has become a place where media personalities, pro athletes and Hollywood entertainers are mistaken for people of importance (and we might add politicians).
I’ve needed a doctor.
I’ve needed a teacher
I need farmers every day.
I’ve also needed an auto mechanic, house painter, plumber and a lot of other hard working people.
But I have never, not even once, NEEDED a pro athlete, media personality or Hollywood entertainer for anything!
