Have People Lost All Sense Of Shame?

I am tired of the media coverage about Anna Nichole Smith(ANS). She was a gorgeous woman, and a celebrity because of an abnormal lifestyle. It is sad that there has been so much press time dedicated to her demise and the after effects.

I am angry though about the circus that has ensued following her death. There is a long list of people whose greed has taken hold of their souls, and now they are embarrassing themselves daily. There has been more than one court hearing about who is the legal next of kin, who should be granted her body for burial, and who is the father of her child. ANS has a five month old child who is claimed by every male on the planet except for me, I think. Here is where my anger begins: Not a single one of those men bothered to have asserted paternity until after ANS died, and because of the potential of the little one to inherit $487 million dollars or more, everyone now wants custody.

It is sad enough that the child has no parents. It is sad that the only things she will know about her mother are some videotapes of a stupid "reality show" and some yellowed copies of a Playboy magazine (and a million pictures on the internet). It is maddening that there has been no exercise of responsibility for this child.

Have people no shame? Yesterday it was cold outside, and my daughter and son decided to go outside after school and play. I was busy with some domestic chore and when they asked I simply said yes. About a half hour later I peeked out the window and they were not wearing jackets. I was ill with myself for not making sure that they were properly attired for the weather when I told them they could go outside. Had my mama been there I would have been in big trouble.

But to ignore a child until there is the potential for money to be had? None of these people cared for ANS when she was alive, and none of them care about her now that she is deceased. This is why it is so disgusting that people are fascinated with celebrities. The people are disingenuous and dishonest. They can't handle their own responsibilities, why do people care what they think about international and domestic policy? Why do we even give them a platform other than the movie screen?

I hope someone honestly steps up and cares for little Danielynn. She deserves more than she will probably receive.
