Where are the talented people
I always wonder (and I find myself wondering about this quite a bit) where are the truly talented people who are intelligent, insightful, creative and earnest? It seems like the only people to find success these days are the sociopaths who have absolutely nothing of worth to offer. How do they succeed and excel beyond people who truly have something to offer.
I finished the article and was left thinking "who is this woman and why is she on tv spouting her opinions as though they matter?"
Britney Spears: not talented, not interesting in the least
Brad Pitt/Angela Jolie/Jennifer Aniston (together, alone or any combination): not talented, not interesting in the least
Rush Limbaugh: not talented, not interesting in the least
George Bush: not talented, not interesting in the least
Simon Cowell: not talented, not interesting in the least
Anna Nichole Smith: not talented, not interesting in the least
Notice a pattern here? Oddballs and freaks have always captured the public's imagination, but it seems like we've become such a vapid society that all we exhault and reward is freakish, attention-whoring egotists.
