When I was growing up we read short biographies of heroes like George Washington Carver and Louis Pasteur, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. We didn't have rock stars and reality TV. No one was making millions by dressing bizarrely and bragging about their affairs and the amount of money they could waste in debauchery. We each of us need to make choices in what life stories we will elevate to the status of examples to our children. The media in its desire for money and fame have co opted these decisions and will continue to if we left them. Time to drop out and drop the media circus. Let them feed on themselves but remove them from your lives. Print media is already in real trouble and TV is suffering as well. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The internet will revolutionize distribution of information and allow the skeletons out of the closets. Perhaps after we clean house we can again revere the sacrifices and committments of our true heroes.ratpyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983239030742243653noreply@blogger.com
