This hit me like a slap in the face.  Let's not be so
quick to join the cult of celebrity that we forget
what it means for someone without the legal and
financial resources that come with fame to be
manhandled, cuffed, held for hours or even days.  I'm
a bit claustrophobic, and the thought of it scares me
to death.  Regular folks who face down such fears are
the ones I admire.
