Dangerous Reality

It has been long known that copy cats walk among us. Some try to emulate role models that perform good deeds in society. Sadly, some copy cats perform evil like serial killers. Experience is a great educator and I came across something recently that alarms me.
Before I get into that episode I saw two popular reality TV shows that foster the same ideas as my interaction story.

Survivor and Big Brother:

Are you aware of these two highly rated TV shows? Do you watch them? As a disclaimer I only watched the first season of Survivor and I turned off the TV with Big Brother after five minutes.
With that said, I offer you a new vision or one that you may have already grasped concerning the fundamentals to these shows. It is basically the same principal for both. It is this: competition for a money prize by eliminating contestants in weekly events. Sounds fair, but it isn't.

What happens in these reality shows is sick and dangerous to society as a whole. In Survivor, people are stranded on an island with only the clothes on their back. They must survive the elements and yet, still compete to win by being the last person standing.
In this phony world the physically weak, those with no leadership abilities and or, poor mental capacity ban together to vote off the island anyone who is stronger, smarter and a leader. Anyone who offers their experience, especially older contestants. They are out even before the first vote. They put a target on anyone who wins a competition or demonstrates ability. In the first episode of Survivor, an older man found all the other helpless contestants water. He made fire with his glasses and he reminded those who slept close to the water that high tide is unknown. It would be best to sleep high in a tree. He was correct on all accounts. He was the first voted off the island.
In Big Brother the contestants are confined to a house with no outside contact during the eliminating process. The person who can cook, clean up and help run the house smoothly will always be the first kicked out of the house by the lazy, inept and slower IQs.

Do you see what these TV producers are pushing? All you a low achiever. All those who don't understand how true wealth is accumulated, but has a big mouth. All of you get together and vote out or shutout the competition. Anyone can say free education for all! Free medical or basic income for all! Whatever the issue. It does not matter. What matters is how can you do it so that it is cost effective and self sustaining? That is how you make a difference!

Anyway, back to the real world. I was planning a vacation to Europe. I went online to do price comparisons. I came across the best price offered by Aeroflot. I never heard of that airline. It is a Russian carrier. I'm not prejudiced against the Russians. In fact I always wanted to see their country and meet their people. It won't happen!
After I purchased the ticket, a note flashed on my screen. In order to board the plane from New York with a stopover in Moscow and then, on to Rome, I would have to get a Visa. Dear Reader, this is no fill-out the application on the internet. You need to submit the reason for landing in Moscow and the commissioner will determine either yes or no with a possible fee to this application. Get Real!
There is no way in hell that I will submit to this procedure. It is a barrier placed by paranoid people to shutout the possible goodwill by human contact. This is the small, weak and mentally challenged keeping out the dangers of the sharing of cultures with respect for each other. Now, I do not know if the US imposes the same barriers to Russian tourists. However, since our paranoid military has so much influence in our government, I fear it is like a tit-for-tat game. This is not good for peace.
Recently, the Doomsday Clock was in the news. The time is two minutes to mid-night. People, with these type of actions by government, the time just moved to 1 minute and 59 seconds.

P.S. This might be my last post as Google is closing the door to free speech as they claim not enough interest. Thank you Dear Readers for your loyalty even if you disagreed with me. Hopefully, some day my book will be published, Evolution of Democracy - look for it.
