outwood --so very true. We are being fed all sorts of rubbish and it is becoming more and more apparent that people can no longer think for themselves or take stock of what is happening in any situation. We are indeed being manipulated, I am not sure by who, however, people do need to abandon the herd mentality and get to grips with the reality of the situation. The big problem with all that is that far too many people think that what happens in these so-called 'reality tv shows' is real life. It is a sad world and it ain't going to get any better.
