In reading my copy of USA Today, I was amused to see the front page dedicated to Manti Tao, Lance Armstrong along with a laundry list of reality styled programs that people are duped by every day. You would think in a society equipped with cell phones, I-Pads, computers and every conceivably accurate device we would become smarter. But we are becoming dumber than the bell used to describe a ten pound weight at a gym. We buy into the amazing races where people desperately grab onto a train handle to try to get to the next city ahead of their competition. Do we ever stop to think that the camera man following them has to make it too? Do we really believe that every winner on American Idol will become rich beyond their wildest dreams, despite the fact that less than a handful actually have gone on to successful careers? Do we actually believe a living, breathing twenty two year old would fall for the voice of someone they have never seen and believe them when they say they love them so much? Guess so. I would probably have fallen for that at age 12 too. Not at 22. It’s the real world, people……and we all live in it. Get over it. In a real world, real things happen. REAL!!
