Gigi,
I completely agree with you. I also think Madonna made a good career move - as always.
I do disagree with her statement that democracy is not working because people may decide to
not buy her CD's based upon her statements. That is always the case. Free purchasing decisions are at the heart of free markets. Someone's freedom to choose to buy or not buy her product is completely the opposite of what she is claiming.
Her strategy is the correct one for her. When she was young and unknown she did outrageous things that increased her exposure and popularity. Now, as a well-known artist, politically unpopular statements would be damaging.
I disagree with her statement. I don't disagree with her. Her move is the right one for her career.
