I do not accept the assertion (or assumption) that all males or all females are shallow, superficial and self-centered. Love, erotica, intimacy and attraction are all complicated mysteries that even the wisest of sages or the laws of relativity cannot totally explain.
A new fractured syllogism:
Not all females are shallow, superficial, and self-centred;
Anna Nicole Smith is a female;
Therefore Anna Nicole Smith isn't shallow, etc.
I do know that there are some vicious people out there and unfortunately some of them post on this board. I don't doubt for a moment that ANS was motivated by her desire to be taken care of financially when she decided to marry her 89-year-old husband. I do believe however that she appreciated him and that she did it for her son.
She married the old fool billionaire for the sake of her son. A mother's love knows no bounds. Oh the sacrifice. A tear has come to my eye.
As for her detractors who claim it doesn't take 88 million dollars to raise a child, I say "bah!!!" It always amazes me that people who aren't parents or in this case single parents claim that raising a child is so easy, so effortless. It's sort of like those hypocrits in the pro-life movement who are so concerned about a fetus not being aborted but disappear when the child is born. Unless you've been there, raised a child on your own or walked in her footsteps, don't judge....
Some of her detractors would suggest you could float an orphanage on $88 million, the cynical bastards! I say Bah too! Bah-ha-ha-ha-ha-hah!!!
I still maintain that ANS is a beautiful woman. There are many people who are attracted a Rubenesque figure. On top of that she has a beautiful face, hair and mischevious attitude. In spite of her upbringing in the humbler of classes (something she obviously didn't choose but was born into), who the hell cares. I don't think that she should be blamed for who or where she was born to and I don't think that it's equitable to claim she's white trash. She's a person like you or me.
She's a human being but please, she's not like most people, and thank god. She can't help the station into which she was born, but she is responsible for her current trashy behaviour.
I do this argument/thread is misoygnistic for the most part and a an example of vindictive envy on the part of most. She went out there in the world, through luck and good looks was able to marry someone who left her millions of dollars. No matter how you slice it, this is what the man wanted to do with his money and she's on the receiving end. I, for one, say good for you. If she chooses to do good works with the money then that would be great, too, but that's up to her to decide.
I would suggest that this thread is about a shameless lack of any moral sense in Anna Nicole Smith. But maybe I'm just a foolish old vindictive, envious, misogynistic, hypocritical eccentric. Hey, did I hit all the hotbuttons with that last sentence? Oops, forgot about pro-lifer. Well, can't claim'em all.
