New York magazine has a fine story about rich parents fearing that their children will end up spoiled. A whole industry has grown up to advise the parents on how best to not support their children too much -- not the problem that most kids have. The main advice of these experts is that rich kids need to be obliged to do real work when they are young, or they will be undone by meaninglessness by their 20s and 30s.
And what is the name and the face of what these rich parents fear the most? Paris Hilton.
Everyone serves some purpose - if only as a bad example.
