There are a lot of great photographers taking pictures of Julia. We love Julia. Should Helmut Newton take pictures of bums on the streets of America instead of Cindy, Madonna, or Britney. It's not wrong to celebrate sucess. I rather see his images of Florence than another starving person who could be help by the photographers bag full of food. Who are they kidding. America loves its stars. The world loves our stars and our life styles. Thats why the rest of the world wants to come hear. Just look at all the Canadians coming hear to be celebrities or the mexicans crossing the borders to make a better life here. Stop the pictures of lazy bums asking for money. Give me more Julia and Cindy. mike gil - --- Kevin Argue <kargue@sympatico.ca> wrote: > The economy is not the problem. Attitude of the US > media giants is the > problem.
