The Amazing Race or Unintended insights I was watching the Amazing Race and the contestants were asked to travel from Amsterdam to Mombai (Bombay) and go from there to a film studio amusement park. Everyone arrived at the park gate and had to wait until 9:00 to get in. While they were there the camera showed the reactions of the contestants observing local life. One scene was particularly touching, it showed three small children heading out from their little tar paper shack to go to school, the oldest leading and the next two, holding hands and following, all barefoot in the landscape of trash and shanties. When the camera returned to the contestants in the Amazing Race, most were crying, I heard one lady comment that if she won, she would be back to help. I thought to myself, she doesn't even know it, but she just won the race, regardless of what happens on the television show, she has seen the truth, she was lucky. I would be glad to be a "not millionaire", "almost a millionaire" or "not nearly a millionaire" would be fine with me. As a community we represent a cross section of the planet, the only thing we have in common is that we all have an ISP, which presupposes a lot.
