Very true, its just that 'popular culture' at least at that level is pretty self destructive.

I dont think Ms. Boyle had a clue as to what she was getting into.

You're probably right, though I still think that there's some kind of underlying issue that she has...

It is an unfortunate by neccessary side-effect of freedom that people can get themselves involved in things way over their heads.

I am reliably informed she has mild learning difficulties and has needed medical help in the past.

Hardly the ideal kind of temperament to deal with suddenly being placed in a goldfish bowl and having all the eyes of the world looking in at you.

Indeed. But still, that is her right.

Can you imagine the cries of descrimination were it found out that she was not allowed to participate due to earlier learning disabilities?

She was just thrilled to perform as she did the first time, and she did resist people trying to change her. I do wish her well and that she enjoys life without too many dark clouds.

If you need to go fishing, I need a years all expenses paid trip around europe!
