Of Paris, Lindsey, Nicole and Britney
Lindsey Lohan has been arrested for cocaine possession while driving drunk. I was disgusted at the media coverage of it. If hang around in the Backroads Buzzard's Cafe you find out what is obvious may not always be right. Paris, Britney, Nicole and Lindsey are starlets and to some extent looked upon by a group of teenage girls as role models. While it is easy to criticize their antics of the girls who don't wear panties. Tom Wolfe quipped in a graduation address about Paris being famous for the porn video and inheriting lots and lots of money. Britney Spears later music videos was as a hard rocker said the greatest inciter of illegal thoughts that ever happened to the male gender. Nicole Ritchie is famous for acting stupid on TV had a dad who had a string cheesy songs that made the 1980s to borrow a phrase from VH-1 so big!
The Backroads Buzzard's is about to shock people. For the short term drugs sex and booze work. If there is nothing outside the physical universe there is no God and Evolution is fact....The Behavior of the 4 girls makes sense. For the short term sex and drugs and being the center of attention are indeed great fun. Paris, Lindsey, Nicole and Britney are vindication to Allan Bloom's book Closing Of the American Mind. They are living for the pleasure and the adoration of now. Since there is no greater morality, you can not criticize the behavior of the four! In a sense Nicole, Paris, Lindsey and Britney are the final extension of the Carl Sagan quote "The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries." If that is so we can not have any moral absolutes there is no universal accountability no grace no greater moral code. If we are the end result of a cosmic force a freak chance a stabbing in the hallway of a high school a has no great moral implication. It is two freaks of chance competing for supremacy. One determined that the other needed to have a large knife plunged into his chest and after all who are we to judge.
The greatest irony is intuitively there is something left over from the fall that revolts in against a true relativist world view. For instance if a burglar was in our house we would not hesitate if armed to kill or inflict harm on the burglar. How many of us have said that (exp deleted) when cut off. The self destruction watch of Paris, Nicole, Britney and Lindsey has a perverse thrill as we see people who have found out how hollow fame was. On a visceral level adults see girls dressed like street walkers in hallways of schools we are repulsed. Yet higher learning the denial of truth stands in conflict to this. It does take much to realize that the prevalence of gangsta culture is death of our society yet the moral force to assault is undermined but the all consuming value of tolerance. Now in the year 2007 the rebel teen girl rejects slutty clothing. The young lady who believes in force of woman hood tells the dogs or boys to shove it. It is the rebel girl who offers an intellectual statement in either English or Science class. It is the avant guard teen that points out the flaws in evolutionary theory. The Christians who quote Rush's song "Free will" by reminding the politically correct world "If you choose not decide you still have made a choice" are now the rebels. It is easy to criticize the antics of Paris, Lindsey, Nicole, and Britney. The irony is what is now culturally acceptable are what drove the foursome to stardom.
