Independence
Greetings from the land of torturous dial-up internet, where I'll be languishing till Wednesday when the broadband folk get back to work - I'm dyin' here! And still, I post. If this isn't love for my readers, I don't know what is.
First things first, I wish you a happy and safe 4th of July. As you celebrate your independence over hotdogs, parades, beer and fireworks, take a moment to appreciate the fact that you've just voted someone you like/care about/love/admire/etc. into a situation with ZERO independence - save free thought, and sometimes even that is questionable.
Did they want to be there? Yes, absolutely. It's worth 1/2 a million dollars to them to give up their freedom - to be trapped in a sound stage (house) for a few months with their every move scrutinized by us, the live feed viewing audience.
Everyone around them is wishing for their demise - alliance or not - everyone wants to win, ultimately, so by extension, everyone wants the other to lose. And we love to watch them, but would we trade places with them? I'm really curious, readers. Would you give up every shred of privacy and independence for a chance at the prize? Given the chance, would you?
I look forward to your comments.
And have a great 4th!
