Our society looks when there is nothing to see. The 24-hour news cycle is notorious for averting our attention toward things without any relevance. Political attack ads are just as bad. Our politicians and potential politicians only strategy for obtaining office is to make other candidates look bad. They do not say anything constructive or meaningful. There is nothing said or done with any amount of substance. We look on like we are watching a reality television show, all too eager to know who will look like a fool next. Few find the grotesque irony in the richest men vying for control of our government while spending ungodly amounts of money during a recession. I am no better than any one else. Even when there is nothing to see, I look.
