Reality is static quality with dynamic quality.
There doesn't need to be this - there is this. It is
society and intellect that are not open to this when
degenerate process are at work. So, what have I said?
All generalities.

Platt, that is an outstanding remark! Specific,
and I'm leaning towards your on point here. No wonder
celebrities make the news alongside politicans. What
celebrities are doing is thought of as fun and not so
heady. When Paris Hilton was placed into jail, out of
jail, in jail, I still couldn't get out of my head
that the whole episode was like a movie due to her
being on TV so much. It's difficult to digest when a
celebrity gets into trouble, say for instance Martha
Stewart. I mean she was so motherly and likeable on
TV, right? She couldn't possible get into trouble.
Get my drift. The celebrity doesn't only FOSTER
unity, a celebrity IS unity. A celebrity is a model,
a social ideal. At least, this is what I'm seeing
with your comment here Platt. Something along these
lines, maybe? If these fun loving people whom many
let into their home on a daily basis get into trouble
it's hard to believe these celebrities can be like
that. Now what of Paris Hilton with the sex tapes and
drinking parties. That's the popular thing to do
now-a-days, right? Especially with the teenagers and
population in their twenties. She's just doing what
they do or want to do, right?
