It strikes me that she is actually a serious person: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/angelina-jolie-tells-house-lords-6405991 , but a lot of attitude that actors and musicians right and left get regarding their activism is "Shut up and sing". Which I think is sometimes unfair, because as you say--acquiring stuff isn't everything. Feeling that she's doing something capital I-Important, probably gives her more than red carpet walks can.Vixen Strangelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976594951225450413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436782247272162797.post-14646755589871712912016-09-26T16:02:40.616-04:002016-09-26T16:02:40.616-04:00Hi Vixen, I have some info about Angelina Jolie. B...Hi Vixen, I have some info about Angelina Jolie. But first I have to resist waxing metaphysical when it comes to questions regarding how it can be that mass murderers receive less attention than the goings-on of movie stars.<br /><br />It is all predictable from the point of view of the counter initiation leading to the kali yuga. I won't go into it because I appreciate that politics is on the front burner. However, I will simply point out that if you look at commercials on TV you will see that fulfillment is always couched in a perspective about material objects. You know, if you buy this, things will be great. If you buy that, things will be great. Even the fact that fulfillment would be presented as the purchase of objects is already deeply into counter initiation territory. The truth is that purchasing objects can be fun, but there is nothing transformative about purchasing objects or trying to find fulfillment in them. I'll leave this aside until after the election.<br /><br />Surprisingly enough there is a political component to Angelina Jolie. Apparently she wanted a couple of things. One, an open marriage. And two (brace yourself), she wants to become a member of the House of Lords. You know, she has been establishing herself as an international do-gooder by chairing different organizations with connections to the UN, etc.<br /><br />She is moving to the UK. One of her good friends is a former foreign secretary, and another is a titled woman. Angelina has horsepower behind her, and she has a goal.<br /><br />She wants to become a peer, and then become a member of the House of Lords. Her ultimate desire is to become the new Princess Di. (Believe me, this is all much crazier to me than considering the kali yuga.) You realize that she is already Hollywood royalty, and her father Jon Voight is a well known conservative political activist. She want s to parlay all her accolades into the ultimate payoff. <br /><br />You know, parenthetically, all she would need to do to simplify her trajectory would be to marry an earl, which she could easily. She'd then be Lady Someone. Princess Mary of Sweden used just used to be a high level worker bee, and she became a princess when she married the king. These things can be done, my friend...<br /><br />Well, if she's successful at least we can be pleased that we've all had opportunities to see her naked.Formerly Amherstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6436782247272162797.post-53690090607732343432016-09-26T15:58:49.911-04:002016-09-26T15:58:49.911-04:00Yeah, misogynist haters are the norm in the snacil...Yeah, misogynist haters are the norm in the snacilbupeR party, so this guy must have been both.
