Okay, I'm really not big on the "fan club" American trail. Really. I'm too concerned with our economy and our futures to follow Starlets or the rag mags.

But, (butt, if you want to get gross), poor Jessica Simpson . She's been in the limelight now for the last couple of weeks....you bet. And, why you ask? Well let's see, the major headlines have been "Jessica puts on weight" or "Jessica forgets her lyrics" or "Why is Jessica the talk of the town?"

Well duh. We are in such a single minded, brainwashed, uppety, MARKET DRIVEN society that we are now making our children believe that if they have any extra weight on them that they are the OUTCASTS. Trust me here, I'm not preaching obesity or lousy eating habits or lack of exercise, but what I am preaching is the potential damage to our childrens' psyches and ability to foster a normal amount of self-esteem.

What I am talking about is the future of our childrens' ability to distinguish the two factors of "who they are" or "what they look like". Our society, by expecting perfection is breeding illness and self loathing in our young society that just can't be PERFECT everyday.

So, if the body is not "perfect" by your standards and you have a bad day and just can't get it together then you are considered "THE FALLEN". And, are no longer worthy of our attention. Phew. I wish our general public would grow up, gain loyalty and respect for one of our own. If you can't do that for a single Starlet...then how do you expect any one "person" to turn our economy around and create a better world?

It takes looking into ones own soul and standing without judgment to "accept" what is.

I just had to say this...
