Out of the mouths of (celebrity) babes

This comment is a little late in coming. But I'm afraid the idea is as timely as ever. During the Inaugural festivities singer/actresses Beyonce was quoted as saying about Obama that "he makes me want to be smarter". I found this comment quite touching, as the lady is already quite gifted in the looks and talent department. For all the challenges we face today, we all will need to be a whole lot smarter. We will need to learn to stay calm and use our intellect to guide our emotional response and not the other way around. Hopefully Obama had inspired alot more people then this one celebrity in that regard.
