Maybe that one was one I posted then took down again.<br /><br />Eve: I also really like Colbert's character and Stewart's "news". I was more thinking about the idea that the line between true and untrue, real and unreal is blurred. Steven Colbert plays a character named Steven Colbert who says things that he believes and doesn't believe. Its all comedy, but its also confusing. I just read a biography on Colbert, finished it last night in fact, and he too gets confused by it and worries that his kids will too.Ron Easton for Dads UnLimitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882214390082630285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-52818259726483084432012-01-26T14:35:25.373-05:002012-01-26T14:35:25.373-05:00Ron, In answer to your question from a few days ag...Ron, In answer to your question from a few days ago, today dashboard says there's a post from 5 days ago called beliefs that rock our kids worlds but it's not there that I can see. It's ok to write in advance and post them later I'm just answering your question about what I see today. <br />xo<br />PJoin Us For Breakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358151370938420362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-35277567728753065072012-01-26T12:10:10.019-05:002012-01-26T12:10:10.019-05:00You're right, the trend today does seem to be ...You're right, the trend today does seem to be to clamour after fame..I personally think it would be horrible to be famous..everybody wanting to know every detail of your private life, as if it's somehow their right..it's bizarre to me how the public holds up these reality show people as if they're real celebrities..most of them are just famous for being well known. It's a shame that this is what most kids see as being somebody. Marshall McLuhan was right.<br />I like the Daily Show and the Colbert report..I don't think those are reality shows though..I think John Stewart and Stephen Colbert just put a humourous twist on the news of the day..anyways, love this post..you really make me think!E.

Politicians scramble to leave a legacy before they leave office as if they'd hate to be forgotten. Legacy can be a great thing, I think that's what our Dad is giving to us and what you're trying to do for your kids too!<br />BeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29706113.post-45371110940954033922012-01-25T16:53:11.629-05:002012-01-25T16:53:11.629-05:00Will:I think that likely started the idea that tv-...Will:I think that likely started the idea that tv-makes-right.

If a product or service had advertisements, they seemed more established than one that didn't (like RC Cola.)<br />I was raised with a healthy distain for brand names, and it stuck with me, so there's a lot to be said for the parenting style. As for fame, a 13-4 year old would only see the glamour, but through high school,many (though certainly not all) will see the privacy intrusions that the famous endure, and think better of it. <br />PS was your title a reference to Steve Taylor's "Am I In Sync"?Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887692234695411883noreply@blogger.com
