		<description>Well, I agree to a point.  But I do believe that everybody, even people who struggle with mental illnesses, need a purpose to their life, something to do when they get up in the morning.  Whether it&#039;s your kids, your marriage, your job, your career, volunteer work, whatever it is, everybody needs something to do and a goal to reach.  It gives people a purpose in life.

Brit hasn&#039;t really done much since the videos for her album were released and she had her major public breakdown.  I agree to not give her too much, too soon, as that could be a huge step backwards...but if she wants to do a small thing, a small step, as long as it doesn&#039;t interfere with her recovery I&#039;m for it.  And if she is able to make some sort of reference to her problems and to the fact that she&#039;s meeting it head-on, I think she would see that people are pulling for her to get well.

And I&#039;m pretty sure I can stay on target and regain my dignity...wait, did I have any to begin with?  ;)</description>

		<description>I am not sure Britney *can* take a tongue and cheek look at herself.  I believe Britney suffers from a debilitating mental illness and is still a fragile-minded person who needs more time to heal her fractured life.  This woman essentially unraveled before us and putting her in the spotlight again only reinforces our consumptive need to see a facade of normality, when in reality, she is still under the care of her parents as a grown woman with children.

That said, I am ever so grateful k was inspired to join Glosslip, even if it was because of Brit-Brit&#039;s disastrous performance.  I cross my fingers she will stay on target this time, I&#039;d love to see her regain her dignity.</description>
