Why The Republican Debates are like Political WWE
Each character with his own ‘shtick’ pandering to a raucous dedicated following. You’ve got clown hair ‘Donald Dick’ displaying his digits, while ‘Little Boy Rubio’ flails insults, and ‘Bible Belt Cruz’ preaches the apocalypse, as ‘Kasich the Referee’ stands in the corner and does nothing.
Human Instinct
As noted in “Sex, No Drugs & Rock’N’Roll(Memoirs Of A Music Junkie),”
“Whether its team spirit, patriotism, or organized religion, we humans have an uncanny knack for finding excuses to identify with a group so that we can beat up on those that don’t belong.”
I also observe, “…another human instinct, our inborn fascination with conflict, power and violence. You’d think we’d outgrow this type of behavior as we get older but instead we just get better at it (or worse, depending upon how you look at it).”
If It Bleeds It Leads
It always pisses me off to get stuck in a traffic jam, because accident gawkers have to slow down to see blood. And in the media “If it bleeds it leads!”
Apparently, when God made man in his image in six days it was a rush job, so we just got the same instincts as every other jungle animal. Over the centuries, we’ve adapted with ‘civilized’ rules of behavior, but every so often our true nature comes through.
