I have absolutely no respect for the main stream media, that includes TV and print. I do not rust much of what I read and see and am weary of sound bites or superficial stories designed to prompt a knee jerk reaction.<br /><br />I have made many mistakes, big and small, in life. This is a good way to learn as the educational curve is sharp. I also think our mistakes are inevitable and help form our character. As one gets older as the trite old saying goes our mistakes get bigger. Thankfully as I age I seem to make fewer mistakes.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-47838820810722238972009-06-04T08:55:40.576-07:002009-06-04T08:55:40.576-07:00I think this is maybe why the public is often so m...I think this is maybe why the public is often so mean to people with disabilities.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-47047194831934063102009-06-04T08:55:09.101-07:002009-06-04T08:55:09.101-07:00I find the idea of fame kind of nightmarish.

The public loves nothing better than to judge--as my husband says, it makes people feel better about themselves, to get self esteem through shredding others. And it takes a lot of small-mindedness to relish tearing others down.FridaWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321658097813377806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-22410737728798240242009-06-04T05:28:49.374-07:002009-06-04T05:28:49.374-07:00I've had very minor, very local fame for a tot...I've had very minor, very local fame for a total of about five minutes. That was enough.<br /><br />I would guess that by now Susan Boyle has a manager, who was likely urging her to strike while the iron was hot.<br /><br />As it turns out, I believe a number of runner-ups from the "Idol" shows have met with greater success than the winners. I'm sure Susan Boyle's mgr is negotiating recording contracts right now.Becshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057614535554183360noreply@blogger.com
