The fact that celebrities can buy children is very bothersome to me. Not just celebrities, but anyone with enough money. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, or what you do to children for that matter.
I have been watching the Phil Specter trial (in spurts) and saw an interview with his ‘children’. Although they claim to love their ‘father’ they describe a fairly horrific childhood. They both describe being picked up out of an orphanage as presents for the ‘mother’, as though they were pets.
Hillbilly White Trash has a post on Rosie O’Donnell recently using her adopted daughter, Vivian, to make some point. She dressed Vivi up as a jihad child and put her picture on her web page. I’m sure there was a reason to do this in Rosie’s mind, but who wants to go into Rosie’s mind?
Lemuel’s sharing some humor at Rosie’s expense. Heh!
Adeline and Hazel have a post showing that even the masks over the faces of Michael Jackson’s children doesn’t cover the sadness in their eyes. It appears he’s shopping for another child.
Political correctness has it’s victims.

I don’t even want to think about what the poor kids will be like when they grow up. It is so sad to me. On the one hand you have children who are not wanted by their birth parents or whose birth parents could not take care of them or had died and they are in need of a home and then you have ‘celebrities’ who want children for who knows what reasons and bring these kids into their homes. The children are better off in the sense that they have a home but you wonder what effect their ‘celebrity’ parents will have on their psyche!
