Neighbours don't want Madonna邻居们不喜欢和麦当娜住在一个小区

Dean

NEW YORK - Madonna has sued(控告)the people who run her luxury（豪华）co-op building overlooking Central Park, complaining that they will not let her buy a neighbour's apartment.

The Material Girl claims in court papers that the co-op's board of directors（董事会）wrongfully blocked her purchase of the seventh-floor apartment on the Upper West Side.

Madonna, who already owns a large apartment in the building, is asking the court to let the sale go through and award her legal fees, according to a notice filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.

Madonna moved into the building after she was rejected（拒绝）by the board at the ritzy（时髦的）San Remo co-op in 1985 - currently home to U2 frontman Bono.

Madonna Dyed Sheep麦当娜把羊染成各种颜色受到谴责

Animal lovers are angry with Madonna.

According to reports, the pop star dyed sheep blue, pink, yellow and green for photographs in Vogue magazine.

Madonna said the dye used was temporary（暂时的）and harmless.

Animal rights activists, however, are worried that others might copy Madonna and might not be as careful.

Dean

Many young guys dye their hair red, blue, yellow and other colors. No one is angry with those guys now. It takes time for people to get used to it.

.......

Animal lovers' deed reminds me of the following to sentences:
三毛丛非洲回来说自己去“帮助黄土中的黑人”；
李敖问他：“你为什么不去帮助黑土中的黄人”？
Animal need protection, and much more human being need.
Some so-called well-doers overemphasise on superficial welldoing, but ingnores the innocent that endure.

I think she has the right to spend her own money, why was she accused?

Dean

What she has done to the animals makes the animals lovers upset and angry. So they accused her of doing harm to the animals.

伊人独酌

I see, she should donate the money which is spended on dyeing the animals to the poor people

Dean

rich people should help poor people and poor people should mkae rich people happy.

伊人独酌

Make rich people happy? You mean poor people should provide their service to rich people?

Dean

I mean poor people want to make money and rich people want happiness. So poor people can make money by making rich people happy.
