I was in college and we went for a ski weekend. In our group there was this gorgeous Brazilian girl, Claudia, who everybody wanted to $&#&.

She was so funny and pretty.

All weekend we talked about a lot of stuff, having a great time. We were driving along and at the time Sting from the music group Police was in the habit of trundling around some poor old rainforest Indian guy, more or less Sting’s paid decorative toy, and somehow he made all that virtue signalling so much more real, all gussied up in his arrow-through-the-nose and lip clacker thingy, you know..?

It was all the rage then to profess worry about the Rainforest, and about how in just 10 minutes it was going to be all gone, forever. And we all regretted this as the rainforest really belonged to the WHOLE WORLD not just Brazil, and..

She went NUTZO..!

Claudia —who had been pleasant and funny at all other times- was screaming at all of us, about how that was all BS, and the rainforest absolutely did belong 100% to Brazil.

And that we all should shut-up and that we had no idea what we were talking about.

It was really weird and awkward after that but in not so many years later I have to admit I agreed with Claudia.

And now I COMPLETELY agree with her.

It’s really annoying when other people say your stuff really belongs to THEM, especially when it’s Hollywood Showbiz people doing it, as they are wont.
