There's a difference between respecting a celebrity versus admiring one. I admire many celebrities who have fought in his/her lives, but I have never met any of these people to determine if I "respect" them. Respect works both ways. my two cents.
I agree, that's why I said I "admire" instead of "respect" for Randi. I do respect Prince, not because he's a celebrity, but rather, in spite of it. He refused to be cowed by the big music corps and stood his ground. So, for me, I gotta respect that for what it's worth.
Just curious, what does respect mean to you?
I don't know. I guess it has something to do with acting against one's own best interests in pursuit of something I'd consider more noble or for the greater good.
