Every once in a while, there come a series of events and forms of entertainment that might make some of us wonder a few things.
And one of those things is a set pattern. Here are just a few of my latest observations that seem to follow a certain pattern. Or they may be things that make you go, hmm…
What´s up with television shows that have one word titles? Shows such as: ´Jeremiah,´ ´Sanctuary,´ ´Numbers,´ just to mention a few.
And what about shows with the world has ended and a handful of survivors are going to help rebuild, reconstruct, and reorganize a sense of order theme? Is it a theme that is being overdone or over used?
The folks at Apple Itunes recently became a little agitated, when a group of Congress appointed judges are to decide whether or not to have Apple and other internet based distributors pay increased royalty charges to music publishers.
If the powers that be keep it up, maybe there will come a day when we will obtain our music the pre computer age way.
You know, you take a trip to the nearest music store to purchase music as opposed to buying them the internet way from websites such as Itunes.
And from a slightly political angle, what´s up with all this sexism? When Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton made a go at it in the 2008 Democratic Primaries, ´Clinton Haters´ crticized and belittled the New York senator so much that it was more than enough to make anyone go hmm.
So when Senator John McCain chose Governor Sara Palin to be his running mate, some of us are not so surprised when we learn that someone or some group is trying hard to belittle her.
But I guess people have their fears. Some are afraid of the dark, aliens, the supernatural, certain insects and animals, and some are obviously afraid to have a woman as Vice President or President.
And that´s enough to make go, hmm…
