There is something seriously wrong with our culture when the Runaway Bride is offered half a million for her story, and yet those who do heroic things, like the Special Forces in Afghanistan, get zero coverage, let alone a book deal.

Oh how Right you are! What a sad commentary. Wilbanks is a great lesson for our kids: Tell a big lie, fake your kidnapping/sexual abuse, shoplift any time you want, get the whole country to worry about YOU (just for kicks)...and you only get a little "community service" sentance, but you do get to become famous and get a huge a reward!

Same with wackojacko. Has anyone heard if is he accepting Trump's offer to play LA for some ridiculous amount of money? Next will be his autobiography that will focus on how he was so wrongly criticized by - well, almost everyone except the other family wacko's who want his money, and a few nutso friends and frenzied friends. Has anyone ever heard anyone of "consequence" and good sense ever speak on behalf of, or be associated with him?

Our children have to search hard to find stories about the real heroes of the world. There is little hype about the amazing deeds of our brave soldiers, or efforts of scholars, or successes of entrepreneurs who struggled and became successful. All that is offered anymore are stories about misfits, psychos, oddballs, and criminals.
