The only measure of

The only measure of what you believe is what you do. If you want to know what people believe, don’t read what they write, don’t ask them what they believe, just observe what they do. – Ashley Montague


People ask me if Real Joe is going to focus on or feature any celebrities. I’m leery of doing this, because it’s hard to see how it could be helpful, other than for PR purposes. It would be hard to know what a celebrity believes because, as the quote implies, we can’t observe them in their daily life. So why run the risk of treating them as if they have wisdom to impart and then find out later they’re as screwed up as anyone else?


I may have to eat crow on this at some point, but for now, I remain unconvinced.
