High Society
When will America wake up? We are living in a world that compensates the freaks and geeks of yesteryear with millions upon millions of dollars in publicity, endorsement and fame money. Many of these people would have been the sideshow in a carnival 40 years ago. Why do so many people look up to these hollywood stars that have such aweful lives? I mean people practically worshiped Brittany until she cracked up. People still practically worship Paris and she has no real skill to speak of except posing for photographs. How come I didn't need to use their last names and you knew who I was talking about? Many of these people are drugged out, cheating on their spouse of the year, and addicted to some legal drug (riddlin or prosac) so they can cope with their lives. This is all crazy!!! I don't know how to stop it do you? Boycotts do not seem to be working. (at least not yet, I know some underground and alternative media outlets are starting to make a dent, but only a dent). What will work? Alternative forms? New outlets? A complete moral breakdown? Is there such a thing as a moral breakdown? I think so, but the American public doesn't seem to care. I care, do you? What can we do...

I completely agree with your comments regarding celebs and other "high society" people. We think they are invincible and want to be like them and have their life, yet as we all read the tabloids and watch entertainment shows, their lives are in complete shambles.
Very few have marriages that last, they basically swap relationships(for goodness sake....Tom Brady got his ex-girlfriend pregnant and his current girlfriend pregnant within months of each other), they are all depressed or unstable mentally, the women are all anorexic and yet that's the life we want.
I remember the day when kids wanted to be like their parents or their teachers, but our media has brainwashed our society to believe that celebs are who we should strive to be like. Why do you think that so many people are living way beyond their means and getting themselves into horrendous debt? It's because they want what the rich have even though they don't have the means to pay for what the rich have.
I don't know how to fix the downward spiral we are in, but maybe pulling out the Bible and reading about "worshiping false idols" might be a good place to start....who knows. We'll need to have a complete meltdown before anyone will wake up to make a change. I think we are in the meltdown already, but I'm more conservative than most.
