It's Not. But it Can Be.

We don't express political opinions here too often, but your KHEL 666 Krew (all U.S. citizens) feel that this sums up our opinion very well.
Just my two cents. Instead of embarrassing ourselves with "reality" shows, why not have programs promoting the works of the actual common person, revealing the struggles of the actual common person? Instead of spectacle, why not celebrate the regular, hardworking person? Why not bring awareness and sympathy to the plights of people who live with various physical and mental illnesses, including the fact that the disability payments they get don't even cover the cost of housing, let alone food and medication?
Instead of ridiculing common looking people, particularly fat people, for not upholding the standard of so called beauty, why not teach respect for people of all races and sizes, all genders including intersexed and transgender? Why not celebrate one another's strengths and uphold one another in our areas of weakness?
There have been a lot of improvements in race politics, but racism still exists. There have been improvements in treatment of women on one hand, but on the other hand it has come to a point where women are so sexualized that no matter our personal accomplishments, if we don't fit the qualifications of "sexy" while doing whatever it is we do, we are seen as losers.
Our children are growing up with the message that to be successful, you have to act like a petulant two year old in order to get attention, and you have to appear to be ready for sex at all times. However, if you are a promiscuous woman, you're a slut. On the other hand, if you're a promiscuous man, go you. Being monogamous is "lame." If you happen to be fat, woe betide you for even existing in the first place.
Everything that was mentioned in the video is right on target. Plus, we need to stop outsourcing our employment and manufacturing to other countries.
This truly could be one of the greatest countries in the world, but all the "rah rah, USA" propaganda isn't going to make it that way. Only right and proper action which is concerned with the well-being of all citizens will make it that way. Only kindness rather than stigma will make it that way.

Peace.
