Enough already.
I am up to my eyeballs in swill. Seems our society loves to mire itself in the baser facet of its "heroes" while all the time reveling in the accomplishments they make in their milieu. Today's media, driven by a society that cannot get enough, keeps feeding us decadance on demand.
Society always has wanted to stick its eye to the knothole. Town criers spread the word at the top of their lungs from dawn to dusk in the streets of London. The Sultan of Swat knew a thing or two about bad press.
Now the "press" climbs all over itself to deliver every tiny detail. We are like an alcoholic who usually gets his poison a sip at a time but suddenly finds himself alone in a liquor store.
We overlook the atrocities of the world but spend precious hours steeped in the sins of someone who is no more or less human than we are.
I wonder how far this will go in the future. Celebrities with microchips? Sports stars with internal cameras to record what they do?
I would love to have your take on this.
Later.
