Paparazzi won't be needed if Fergie gets her wish -- remember her? She told "Dancing With the Stars" that she'd love to be on the show. Now that would be a trip. (Gotta say ....I hate reality tv, I'm not much into ballroom dancing, but for a football player Emmit wasn't too shabby.) Hey -- I don't get cable -- so sue me.

Princess Di didn't kill herself. She was also so open about herself and her emotional infirmities that it was impossible not to know the real her. Likewise by extension Prince Charles. The whole royalty thing has been debunked in one documentary after another. Their lives are as dysfunctional as anyone's, except their misery is multiplied by 35 paparazzi in their face for every move they make. I feel sorry for Charles. His mother is hogging the throne. But even Di and Charles and Camilla will eventually be forgotten, as even Victoria is forgotten except in the history books. It'll just take a little longer than those without 35 paparazzi in their face at every turn. > [Original Message] > From: Andreas Ramos <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 11/19/2006 2:42:11 AM > Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: There's no such thing as a free cremation > > > Is it better to be ridiculed or forgotten?
