Every single one of us can, and should be, as much of an inspiration to other people as possible.  And if we are fortunate enough to have any sort of platform, then all the more reason to strive to uplift.  In fact, if your voice is heard by millions of people, you have a responsibility to do the right thing, no matter what.  Knowingly saying something that is not true, is the worst.  And I couldn't care less whose mouth it comes out of!
