Money Can't Buy Courage

Money Can't Buy Courage
Is it heroic to help someone to whom you are indebted? That's the kind of help I was asking for from the business. They made money off my work and now they know it's my work. Why am I sitting in a library broke when they have billions of dollars?

This is ridiculous. Who were you all cheering for? Was it the talent or the business? I'm the talent. How do you feel about being cheated into loving the business like that? How do you think it makes me feel? I would have preferred to believe that people loved my music if I made it big. Now I'm not so sure. No one seems to get excited until the business tells them to.

Have you noticed how I have a modest life but all the ones who used up my writing had wonderful, rich lives? They get together for a party and the event makes it onto the entertainment page in the newspaper. But when they sit down to write, nothing comes to them. There is no passion in their lives. Why did anyone ever admire them?

I gather that these people on TV scooped up all my work after I deleted it on the notion that I was weak. Now I want my property back and they hide it. And the CEO's and presidents all stay out of the spotlight. We don't know what they look like. Isn't hiding for cowards? But everyone knows my face - even well enough to tell it from my relatives on TV. (Thank God.) I don't hide my face.

When I think of heroism, I think of courage. How much courage does it take to conform? Some of these people who called me a coward would never admit anything 'shameful' on the internet. I admit the humiliating details of my poverty all the time. I'm not ashamed of them.

I find it disturbing that people of such low character should be in a position to influence the minds of so many viewers for such a long time. Maybe most people can shake off their evil influence with a little determination, but not everyone. For me even one viewer who believes their lies is a problem. Why is it my problem? I didn't lie.

The sponsors of these networks sponsor crime. If I watched TV, I would make a list of these sponsors and bring it with me when I go shopping so I know which products to boycott.
