I know you weren&#8217t jt. It was just the waste so much on entertainment sentence which elicited my comment. I would venture that the essentials you mention get less attention because they aren&#8217t entertaining to most people. If movies and sports helps people to escape and helps them focus on the important stuff when the time calls for that then movies and sports are a part of the important stuff as well. Just indirectly. I agree that we could all celebrate those important deeds and tasks more too. We just won&#8217t find that stuff on iaofm.com.

c_style, I never was suggesting there shouldn&#8217t be any entertainment.

Heck, I&#8217m an engineering manager/engineer who develops medical and energy products, but I still watch football for some of my leisure activities. So, I&#8217m part of the demand side for the business.

It just puzzles me how enamored the public is with those involved in games and movies, and how little attention the essentials to society get. When was the last time you saw the news or media feature a trauma surgeon and publicized him/her as a hero? Doesn&#8217t happen. But, we&#8217ll talk all day long about some thug who makes a great tackle. It&#8217s just kinda funny.

Everybody needs some form of entertainment. I&#8217m sure even your soon to be surgeon son will spend some of his time and money on entertainment. Or should I say waste his time and money on entertainment?

Maybe all work and no play makes that doctor/humanitarian/parent/anybody burn out early and not be as much help to the world as they otherwise would be.

Wow&#8230 that&#8217s objectively awesome!

Not that a surgeon&#8217s work doesn&#8217t matter more in the long run or anything, but that&#8217s a heck of a flow chart.

A flow chart is created to illustrate Kyle Orton&#8217s path to the Chiefs&#8230.ok&#8230.

What&#8217s really funny is the amount of time and resource wasted on entertainment. We have thousands of people spending their entire lives stacking &#8220facts&#8221 to support their opinions. All for a game. Nothing more.

On the other hand, we have people saving lives every day (my son is studying to be a surgeon), and not a word about them. We have people creating devices that simplify our lives, increase productivity, save lives, etc., etc., etc., and not a word about them.

And we wonder why humanity can&#8217t solve its problems&#8230lol&#8230

Incredible! Sometimes it takes a picture like that to appreciate the insanity of the NFL.
