My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.
Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.

In a small rural dusty town in Texas lived a homely redhead, scrawny and awkward with freckles appearing to bloom over her face like the small flowers across the prairie. Cheeky would look in the mirror, wrinkle her nose and try to wash them off. Grandpa called them “angel’s kisses” but as she pondered on her reflection they simply were reminders and confirmation the tremendous amount of time she had worked the fields.

We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth.

Crazy Muthas: Scary Movie Mommies
Everybody loves Mom. Maybe that's why she makes for such a popular horror movie villain. It's unexpected and shocking that the woman who gave birth to you and nurtured you for all those years would turn out to be a maniac -- unless, of course, you're Leona Helmsley's kids.

Where in the world has Suri Cruise been? The normally ubiquitous toddler hasn’t been spotted in eight weeks, and theories on her sudden removal from the public eye are abundant. Some sources say Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been keeping their little rugrat at home because the paparazzi crush at a recent restaurant outing frightened her; others are speculating that the couple is purposely keeping Suri’s profile low in anticipation of her big birthday bash next month.
