not a prude but selective is what you see as disturbing. its ok to

have the equivalent of a "stage" parent in sports or some other ex-

ploitive activity but a little nudity (that's accepted by the critics) and hanging in the guggenheim is too provocative--you can't legislate morality and certainly can't impose your own--unless you live in "Huckabee Country".. if a family living at the poverty level had a chance to do the same thing as Shields family did --would you still be critical that they did what was needed to elevate themselves to a better lifestyle--would the dhild really be scared/ i think the McCulkin(sp?) family is much more fucked up than

and Brooke Shields seems to be very grounded. and its nice to have someone like McCarthy to give us a little exposure into these people's lives.
