The young adults of today, really need to do a thorough reality check.  The media has all of us hostage, and they have us completely convinced that what they are selling, has true value.

Truth be told...what they are selling on the aire, is what they are selling!  Everything that's showcased in the media, financially benefits a host of associated industries.  They are deceptively creeping into our pockets, and in the wake of that invasion...they are leaving a bunch of frustrated individual, that have a misguided idea of what really matters.

When my great grandmother was alive, many of the foods that she prepared for her family was frowned upon by folks on the other side of the track.  Now the beans, the cabbage, and the 'other white meat' are...welcomed additions to the dinner table.

Bold colorful frocks, dancing with careless abandon, a deeply tanned skin...just wasn't haute couture.  A woman with a large rear-end, or plump lips with a frizzy hair-style wearing dangling earrings was seen as primitive and an uneducated savage...but today...it's the rage!


We're acting like 'puppets on a string'...wherever the 'piper leads' we aimlessly follow!

Now, I've really been out of the loop, because I didn't realize that people were actually having buttock enhancements performed. However, they are and a 20 year old young woman recently died as a result of having that procedure done, illegally.  The surgery was performed in a Pennsylvania HOTEL, by someone whose qualifications are unknown, because she hasn't been found yet.

In this unfortunate young ladies case, silicone was used and it was inadvertently injected into a vein.  But this isn't an isolated case, many are having this surgery performed.  This young woman however, and friends traveled from England to have this done, and for 2 of them, this wasn't there first visit...it was a return  trip.  Last year, both had enhancements done by the same faux physician.  And believe it or not, they found out about her faux-practice via the internet.

And from what I've read, silicone isn't the only medium that's used [gosh, you would think that it would be uncomfortable, especially when sitting].  Not to mention the health implication...at some point in their lives, the stuff that's being injected into their bodies will have to be removed.

We all need to get real and 'stop the madness'.
