I knew what she was talking about. This manufactured American Icon had just announced that she was having her ovaries surgically removed, an operation that follows up on having her breasts cut off and synthetically rebuilt, all in the cause of preempting possible cancer.
I really do shake my head. My first reaction "What is Brad thinking of to let her mutilate herself in this way?"
Then I realize that in this brave new world order, her husband's opinions mean zilch.
What, then, has propelled this lady to submit herself to the depredations of a surgeon's knife while in the prime of life?
An easy answer: fear of death and a blank ignorance of what awaits her beyond the grave. This blank has not been filled in by all the screwy, new age Buddhist stuff that she and the rest of the Hollywood narcissists are into. Nor can it ever. All their rolfing fantasies are wells without water and broken cisterns.
Angie, Brad and the rest of you beautiful people (Shortly to become wrinkled with age) The ANSWER IS IN WHAT HAPPENED AT EASTER 2000 YEARS AGO. Now humble yourselves and go to a church where the gospel is preached and put your cosmetic surgery money in the offering plate.
Jubilate.
Ian
