i was just reading about madonna / october 11, 2007
Hi Moby -
Yes, I read your blog from time to time. You really do confuse me but somehow I think that maybe you even confuse yourself.
You say that you are not criticizing Madonna and then you follow it with a “BUT” which tells me that not only are you criticizing her BUT that you are criticizing people that have more money and resources than you do. Am I wrong?
Why shouldn’t people always set their standards as high as they can go? How do you know what she does with her money? Do you really know? No, I don’t think you do because if you did you might not be complaining about it. Yes, I see it as a complaint.
Maybe Madonna donates a portion of what she makes to charity. If she’s got something that means something to her and to other people and she puts her money into it then why shouldn’t she make a gazillion dollars and what’s it to you anyway?
Sure, how much money a person has doesn’t define who they are.. it’s what they do with it that counts, right? So if she wants to buy houses all over the world she’s entitled to it, right?
Oh and just because rich people have “things” that they do or have with their money doesn’t mean they should stop earning money. Should Oprah stop being one of the richest women in the United States because you might think she has too much OR are you just jealous of those that have more than you do?
Why can’t you be happy for Madonna? Why can’t you be happy for those that are able to make lots of money and be successful at it? Why can’t you yourself just be happy?
If I had the funds I would have a house in Nebraska, Texas, Washington State, and Greece. Why is that so wrong? If that is so wrong then why did you feature your crib on MTV’s cribs?
You say that you are not a crusty lefty but I really think that maybe you are! I suppose you like higher taxes too, eh?
If you don’t like having money then I’ll be more than happy to take what you don’t want! I’ve got lots of charities I could then turn it over to. I also have kids I’d like to be able to afford to put through college.
Are you really THAT pissed off at the world?
