Tourists Are Here

Students graduating: a once in a lifetime first degree convocation ceremony. Academic staff dreading the four days of ceremonies.
A gunman kills children in the US and people express how distraught they are while their silent indifference remains deafening as children are killed by government sanctioned assassins.
A Malaysian director foolishly hires an Indonesian softporn actress to do something she has never really done, act. She equally foolishly condemns the host country's products while ignoring the idiotically scripted audiovisual excrement we get from her country.
No connection? Really? Of course there is.
It all boils down to how people relate to the world around them: what reality we choose to acknowledge and in it invest our attention, concern, regard, respect, et cetera.  Then from the snippet of reality that we choose, we create our own product: our own phenomenon: our response: our word: our twit. With this expression, we demonstrate our humanity, our mind, our aspirations, our intelligence, Or, more often than not, our absence of mind, intelligence, humanity, taste.... and the list goes on.
