You do realise that's about as far from the truth as you can get, right? Your arguments might be a little more viable if they were based off factual information. I hope some of you aren't as naive as you're coming across. You make it sound like Zahara will have to move out to Etiopia the minute she turns 16 and manage the whole thing while she bunks down in the desert with the locals.

Exactly. Nobody is protesting building a clinic here. Just…pointing out the hypocrisy.

It's the expectation that this is what little Zahara is going to do with her life by her parents' design, after Ange resented the expectation she had to go into showbiz. Maybe Zahara will want to be a fashion designer or a photographer or a cop or a forest ranger. Who knows? I realize running an AIDS clinic sounds like a loftier career path than acting, but why not just set up the clinic and see what pans out with the kids as they get older? They may not be cut out for charity management. There’s nothing wrong with setting up a clinic.

If she chooses not to, they will simply have to choose someone else to run it, be it another kid or someone experienced. Think of it like the person you know who got into the air conditioning business because that's what their parents do. They could leave, go to college and pursue some other career. It's simply a choice. And hey, either way Ethiopia wins. That's a new hospital either way. So what's the fuss?

The consequence of doing that is people are going to look at you a lot closer. Hence, celebrity. Which is how people will notice if you talk about planning your kids future just like you hated your dad doing to you. Hence, hypocrite. That's why she deserves the post, but as for a lot of the posters more virulent anti-jolie content...well, you have to admit that if Jolie was truly distressed about the conditions in these countries the way she claims to be, she might skip the $1000 purse for a 2 year old and instead feed a whole lot more two year olds. Is it unfair to think a celeb would devote everything to their cause? You betcha. Most of us wouldn't either. But it does make them human, and flawed, and not nearly as devoted as they would like us to believe they are. Places like this are a nice reality check if anything. It's not that the work these guys do is necessarily bad- it's just not as selfless and shiny perfect as everyone wants us to think. blithe- the reason a lot of us have gone on the offensive is that Jolie makes such a huge, huge deal about how charitable she is, which raises her profile and forces people to take note.

Heck, my mother wanted me to be a veterinarian. But still, being expected to run a clinic for AIDS victims is a lot of responsibility for a kid who isn't even in kindergarten yet.
