There is a quote that was used in the first Spiderman movie with Toby MacGuire: ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. An example of which is Oprah Winfrey, She as surpassed 1M+ followers on Twitter with less than 50 updates or ‘tweets’, in under a couple of months. For the average ‘Joe’ to have that kind of following we would have to be giving away large sums of money daily.

Now is the time for our celebrities to speak up on the issues effecting us here as well as abroad to effect change. Oprah does a good job of this BTW, so I am not flaming her.

I would personally like to see the following addressed if any celebrities are listening:
Foreclosure crisis – it’s impact is deep in Phx.
The middle class squeeze – cost of living outpacing salaries.
Disproportionate jailing of African-Americans and hispanics.
Racially and gendered biased laws and court systems.
Lack of education,jobs and resources to low income areas.

My rant is done now.
