What counts as a "mundane celebrity?" Jimmy Carter has already said Snowden's actions were "beneficial" and that "America does not have a functioning democracy at this point in time."

- untog 13y agoSad reality: a lot more people care about what Matt Damon thinks than what Jimmy Carter thinks. It's still only middle ground, though. Once we can get One Direction involved...
- deveac 13y agoWell, Jimmy Carter is a former president of the United States, ambassador, and politician. I was thinking generally of famous people that don't have a past or present connection to public policy. Either way though, it's a grey term, so there is plenty of room for interpretation. The point, I think, remains the same. As far as famous people of any sort talking to the public on this issue, my attitude is the more the better.
