Mpds Or I'M The Clown In A Strait Jacket

Rating: 5.0


The very wealthy and successful people
benefit from their Multiple Personality Disorders
Becoming actors and politicians....
The rest of us peons are just medicated....
and then indoctrinated into believing we are ill....
And that we are in need of help...Their help...
Which is why I never drink anything from a paper cup___

I don't know about how things are now, but 20 years ago, people who violated probation were sentenced to prison time. Today that might be different, but I don't think so. I have to admit, I enjoyed watching Hilton get carted off to prison. As much as I'm going to enjoy watching Scooter, the fall guy for Cheney, go to prison (remember, Bush's vow to put anyone away for divulging Valerie Plame as a CIA agent?) . It should have been Cheney going to prison. He is the most corrupt and sinister individual to ever serve as Vice President. Oh yeah. Hi Ted! LOL...

Ah come on, not all benefit from Depression, just not so, and some get more depressed when giving a sentence that doesn't fit the offense...Don't know if this is about PH or not but if so, no one in LA gets jail time for probation violation...I will not say anything else, except, my son is an actor and thankfully not suffering from any such illness, in fact he's a great kid, well not a kid anymore. There actually are some nice, caring, giving, not suffering from MPD people who have money and are in the acting profession and or modeling and are just fine....You write well, but really some rich people, or well to do, in this world are the same as everyone just have more green, That does not make them bad or mean they need to be used as a scapecoat......sorry, I like your poem, but this one I had to speak what I know to be true, , , , , , , , , , marci. :)

Reminds me of a saying - 'If you're rich they call you eccentric, if you're poor you're mad.' Love, Fran xx
