money can't buy everything

What exactly is the big deal here? How many kidnappings are there a month in Central or South America? Or in Africa how many kids are enslaved into military or paramilitary operations? Some girl gets lost in Portugal and suddenly its a big deal. I feel like the whole jon benet mess is repeating. I don't care if someone is rich, it's not world news when their child disappears (or is even killed). It's a local matter for things like Amber alerts.

At least it banished ms spears for a minute or two. But wait, OJ manage to squeeze in instead. The more interesting story was the power ball winner.

Money can't buy everything, in fact most of the time, it makes it harder to have much of anything worth a damn.
