A Sick Society

For many year I have watched this society, the American one, that is, go from sad to SICK! Many many things have contributed to this but there are a few that have made this society the sad cancer that it is today.

First there was boxing, a noble sport, but it morphed into wrestling, with the blood and the smack talk. And now we have the ultimate fighting championship, the UFC, which combined the science of fighting with the blood and smack talk. With the morphing going on in about 50 years this will all morph into a form of gladiatorial games with all the blood, the fighting, but with weapons added and fighting to the death. Maybe that is the answer to capital punishment, the death penalty. Turn it into an entertainment.

How about reality TV? Now he is a mindless endeavor and something that the American people can grasp. It is simple, it is mind dulling and it is a piece of crap. That alone will make it a success with the American people. Apparently, the big draw for these mindless shows is the fact that somebody will be embarrassed and humiliated. And that is entertainment, at least for the mindless.

Now we come to my fav, eating competitions. Americans have turned the necessity of food consumption into a "sport". Gluttony is a sin, I thought, but then that does not matter when it involves competition, only when you want to dictate morality. That is what I like about Christians, they can choose which sins they need to avoid. Americans are getting fatter, some say. Is it any wonder? When eating like a pig is entertainment, I would say that pretty much sums it up.

The American society needs a good flush and rid itself of the turds. It needs to start over and there is a possibility it could get it right this time.
