Many, Amen on the basics.

What really makes me laugh though, are the "reality" shows. How stupid can viewers be that they don't realize the while reality is supposed to be happening, there is a camera crew, sound techs, photo lights, and above all, craft services to provide food. Those shows are a fake as $3 bill, and the audience is eating it up just like professional wrestling, which has always been fake, and practiced like a dance performance.

All of these new things are based on a lack of morality in society today.

I see the same degradation og society you do. When my kids were very young I was at my father's office and we were discussing my wife's proclivity to consume, especially toys for the kids. My father said in a way that made it plane he was talking about the excessive toy collection that he felt sorry for them.

When he explained his comment, he said that idle time stimulates creativity.

It was a profound observation.
