I enjoy reading blogs on the internet ... I enjoy watching reality t.v... I will tell you, I do not agree with everything that I see - but not everything is about me. I find my self browsing the blog word less and less and not turning on the t.v. quite as often. While it is fun to read about what is going on out there in the 'world of others' - i've got to tell you, that the drama is really becoming too much - the drama isn't fun anymore - it has gone way beyond that. The judgement, the names - it really has become ugly - beyond ugly. Calling the children names in the comments here - is that really called for? Now, I can just imagine all of the "but, she..." or "she did it first"... Even if she DID do it - does it make you feel better to do the same. Or to those of you that critique the way that she and Jon parent their children or the trips that they take or the fact that they are able to enjoy all of the freebies that come their way - have you never done something in your life that people on the 'outside' could critique you for. For those of you that have been hurt by J&K in some way, in whatever way - I'm sorry for you. All of us have been disappointed by people in our lives... our feelings have been hurt, we have been turned away - we have been betrayed. It hurts. I've been there... not your situation exactly, but I have been there. What I would like to offer is that every experience is a learning experience - even those that hurt our hearts. I'm not a supporter - but I'm not a hater either. I don't agree with everything that I see... I just turn off the t.v. or hit the power button on the computer when it is something that I don't want to see. If you do not agree with what you see - or if you really feel that the children are being hurt by being on television than YOU "be the change that you wish to see in the world" - write letters to the sponsers, to Figure 8, to TLC. Stop supporting the sponsors by not purchasing their products. There are things you can do to show that you do not support what is thaking place... being ugly is not the way to go about it. As well, there are many, many injustices happening in the world right at this very moment. Maybe we can all (myself included) can focus our energies and passions on those injustices instead of focusing on a big family in Pennsylvania. Peace - Adrienne
