Yes I'd like to be able to maintain more order and beauty in my surroundings, but I wouldn't want to be Martha. She strikes me as being driven and intolerant of imperfection. Yet I admire her accomplishments and her influence on culture. She made homemaking, entertaining, and cooking into legitimate pursuits for our generation.
I would not call her a convicted thief. She made $40k profit from insider trading and tried to cover it up. Small potatoes in the world of white collar crime. I think she got unfairly targetted for aggressive prosecution.
