LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Aaron Spelling, a onetime movie bit player who created a massive number of hit series, from the vintage "Charlie's Angels" and "Dynasty" to "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place," died Friday, his publicist said. He was 83.

I think that the dead old white guys had this vision for the American Experiment. You can be what you want to be. In the pressure cooker of true poverty, diamonds emerge. It's a shame that the Republican and Democrat Socialists don't see the beauty of dreams fulfilled. Of obstacles over come. Of doing it yourself. No Nanny Government will make it all ok as long as you eat the gruel being served. And Father State will be you daddy telling you what you can and can't do. It's for the children. Like the human race wouldn't have survived without the Government. Remember governments kill their citizens should they dare to be free. AND, the government "kindness" just kills you a little slower. I wasn't a big fan of 90210 and its ilk. Didn't believe in the "beautiful" and "rich" people! Everyone I know has flaws. Even me. (Shocked?) But in reading about what he had to overcome to be Tori's Dad, I am impressed. Perhaps to have the drive to succeed greatly one needs the poverty, the discrimination, and the angst? Don't know that but do know that the man accomplished things.
