Table Talk

[SteveMR200]

I love the English lifestyle, it's not as capitalistic
as America. People don't talk about work and money,
they talk about interesting things at dinner.

The actress feels she does not fit in with the "bad side of American
psychology".She does , however , fit in with a nation which feels
sorry for terrorists, hates Jews and has a fey attitude toward serious
situations.
Another reason she loves Britain more than America is that Madonna is
her neighbor and gives her advice on her hideous disaster filled
life."She's like an older sister. Everything I have gone through, she
went through ten times worse and ten times longer. She gives me good
advice about how to say no and take care of myself."
Poor Gwyneth must have had a hellish life. Who knew?Having been raised
in posh private girls schools by wealthy parents must have traumatized
her severely.

I feel for Gwyneth. To live in America one must develop an imperviousness to
a very high cultural and political cringe factor.
But that is a result of freedom. Paradoxically, this cultural cringe factor
in a free country arises from mass conformity to less than mediocre norms.
The fact is, most people do not take advantage of freedom or even want it.
