Can anyone point me to my shepherd? I think I'm lost...

Admittedly, some things are more painful to watch than others. I cant leave on BET or MTV for more than an hour without wanting to grab a gun and go rid the world of some teenagers.
But I can sit through 4 hours of Everybody Loves Raymond and the Trinity Broadcasting Networks Benny Hinn the Miracle Worker and laugh my ass off.
Once you realize what it is, it loses its desired effect.
There are people on here who watch MTV and let it influence them. They want to have an Escalade with 22 inch rims. They want the gold toof and the prerequisite bitches. They want to wear Fubu. They believe that the top 10 is the top 10 because it is obviously the best music there is. Mr. Bling was a prime example of what I am talking about. He said it perfectly... popular = good.
People believe the news. They believe the hype. They believe the president, they wear what advertisers tell them to wear.
The American people cannot think for themselves for the most part. They need to be told what is cool and what is not cool. What is good and what is evil. If they were not told, an American wouldnt have an opinion on anything.
I watch everything and take it in with a grain of salt. You can watch it and appreciate it for what it is. Some people cannot. And those people are called Americans.
