There are no shortage of enablers of sick minded people these days, everyone from the medicine man, to the plastic surgeon, to the tatoo guy to the media, to his friends and admirers encouraged this man to go deeper and deeper into his pathology. In another way, didn’t Michael Jackson have a somewhat similar problem with his appearance? He started out as a normal looking person and ended up looking like a freak. Are there no ethics laws in plastic surgery? Well, considering that they mutilate men to make them look like women and vice versa, I guess the answer to that is no.
1. It's all about money, isn't it? Nothing has changed in the human condition:
money,
power,
fame and
status.
Those are the four "scarce resources" for which all humans (except you and me, of course) compete for.
2. Freak describes his new face. So sad. I used to teach aerobics and used his music. It was FABULOUS music.
I used his music because NO ONE could NOT move to it.
3. Ethics? Why would there be more of fewer ethics today, 10,000 years ago or in Michael Jackson's time? NOTHING has changed in the human condition. We are healthier, more educated, more technologically sophisticated but are we happier, nicer, better humans?
I guess the answer to that is no.
Off the topic: I saw "Man of Steel" (yet again) on the plane coming home last night and it occurred to me that it was so very popular because we NEED a hero like him. He shows us how we could be, morally. It's fiction, OF COURSE, but it's a model.
GORSH and GEE WHIZ!!!! Is he gorgeous or what!!! :o):o)
