What if nobody showed up?

The first presidential debate between the opposite sides of the American political spectrum took place today. Of the millions that watched I was not. First the word spectrum requires some inspecting. Frankly their isn't one - not in American politics. There are the left side liberal nutjobs that are still going down the path of subsidizing losers and then there is the fanatic right who is a hair shy of pulling the trigger on the next war. There is nothing in between. Maybe hot air but nothing else. So spectrum is not a true definition - there is nothing between Violet and Red - its more like Polar Opposites. Anyway I got to thinking that given the state of the state and so on what if Nobody Showed up to watch these debates? What if they spent millions and nobody gave a mosquitoes ass to attend? Same goes for all those so called celebrity sold out concerts and shows. What if nothing sold? That will teach this air bags to deflate and stay deflated. No more paparazzing and no more talk shows. Just shut up. I think the current public puts too much emphasis on these arranged presentations where they come to ogle at these leaders, artists or idols (of varying color and hue and exotic abilities or disabilities) and want to believe in what they hear. Its no different than cult mentality - this desparate desire to belong. Instead how about formulate your thoughts and then go do something tangible about it. Plant a tree or trees, drive less, eat what you want but make sure to share and so on. What the heck is all this posturing?
