My 2 Second Shelf Life

Perfect!

"Kate Kretz's painting . . . gets its messages across . . . It presents Angelina Jolie as our nation's Madonna of Consumption. In a glory of siliconed breasts, collagened lips and foreign-adopted cherubs, Angelina reigns over Wal-Mart's banality -- its all-American brands, its all-American flag, its all-American obesity. The problem with the picture, art-wise, is that its messages are way TOO clear."

I'm sick to death of celebrity Madonna-ism.

I don't care what you do to try to erase your self-indulgent, low moral standardism. No amount of money changes bad moral character.
I've known many people in my life that went out of their way to help strangers, yet led lives of stingy, trifflin', back stabbin intemperance where people close to them were concerned.

It's easy to help, and love strangers.
The challenge is to do it with those that are close to you.

To do the right thing, even if it's uncomfortable or takes away from your immediate yearnings.
