You are not mistaken cardo --- first her adult son died of overdose
and then she also died. Battling the entire time for *what she was
owed* with the 'first family'. She was far over her head --- a short
marriage of a stripper to a 90 year old didn't morally warrant the
estate. Greed did her in--- she was offered millions to go away but
she wanted 100s of millions. Legally she was probably in the right but
pragmatically she should have settled. Overweening greed from both
sides ---- she lacked the ammunition and it cost her life.

I'm not at all clear on how Anna Nicole Smith, or her weight
issues,  came  into this conversation.

A picture link  and two comments Tom -- it does tie in to the topic
even if only peripherally. More relevant IMO than most drift.

A.N. Smith is just another example of "ONLY IN AMERICA."

Venezuela's Chavez says:

Concerning my earlier post on capitalism and success:

- I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody.

- The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of
capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An
exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who
is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his
future career.

When it comes to getting answers to your questions about the
economy, doesn't the following prove that capitalism turns
everything into an auction?:

At most it "proves" that there are some *versions* of capitalism turn
things into auctions.

Why the hell should some mathematically naive economics professors
get to decide what capitalism *has* to be?
