Where have all the idols gone?
Past generations have had JFK (even with the Marilyn Munroe scandal), Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Terresa.
What has the current generation got? Paris Hilton (Stupid Spoiled Whore), Michael Jackson (FREAK), Tara Reid (Party Animal, Drunken Lush), David Beckham (Highly Overpaid, Highly Marketable Soccer Player), Bill Gates (Microsoft Oligopoly Creator), Pesident George W(anker) Bush (IDIOT).
When we look back in ten years time, are these the people that we really want society to remember, and idolise?
I'm sure there are people out there that have made a difference to the society we live in, but all we hear about is these false idols. I'm categorised as a generation x-er, so who will generation y look up to?
My lord I hope it is none of the before metioned "stars" of today.
Hopefully we will look back and think fondly of Kofi Anan, Al Gore, Nelson Mandella, Richard Branson (that's all that really comes to mind, I'm sure everyone else can think of others, please add to the list to enlighten me and give people hope).
