Answer 1

The beauty is that this kind of thing
is soonly recognized with people
you come into contact with.

Those who do the whole gossip thing
are so taken with their talkshow mentality,
and the rest of us are repulsed by it.

The perfect example of the 'events' of the
statement is the inclination of the personality of
the newscaster/sports announcer...
interesting to a point, but...

then what? Can only go so far with the position
and what comes of it from the viewers' standpoint,
ultimately comforting at best and, wearing smalltalk
or filling up the "uncomfortable" silences people
have been forcefed into thinking exist. So televisions
are always on no matter where you go...

I'm confident Albert Einstein would've had something
to say about that.

Ah, the ideas people. Those who work in the
field of imagination and composition and
creative marvelosities for the rest of the
world to get swept by and sadly, end up,
for the most part, taken for granted.

But the horserace needs its makeup.

Thank you.
