We could get this country back on the right track with one simple thing. Get rid of all the TV cameras. Ever since the dawn of the multiple 24 hour a day news and sports channels, we have progressed backwards instead of forward.
The politicians would no longer be prancing around and showboating in front of the cameras. They could actually be doing real work on our behalf. It would even help global warming since all that hot air they are always spouting off would be eliminated.
Professional athletes would start playing their respective sports as they were meant to be played and not just waiting to make the highlight reel. Everything from dress to speech is done for the cameras. No more dances, no more antics. If I wanted to see that, I would watch pro wrestling.
We can't do anything without holding a news conference. Trials would be shortened, since we wouldn't need fodder for the daily speeches for the cameras. People would be found and rescued sooner, were it not for those hourly updates.
American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, and reality shows would soon start to disappear. As they did, life would once more come back to normal, as people weened themselves away from those electronic home drive in sized screens and learned there is a life waiting to be lived rather than staring at others all day long.
