The other day as I was watching TV I noticed something that caught my attention: 90% of the shows I watch are REALITY TV! Not to mention the time I spend watching the news which could be considered as reality TV...

Have you thought about the shows you're watching lately? Why is it that the content of our TV consumption has been transformed so drastically? Is our imagination dying? Should we be concerned especially as this trend can be seen in movies as well?

An example which shocked me was the decision made by Disney in "Enchanted" to have a movie where the cartoon characters turned into real humans! To a person that grew up watching movies such as "The Lion King" and "Aladdin" this almost seems like depriving kids of the possibility of dreaming and being something else than everyday humans!

      Have you thought how you want your body to be disposed after life? Can you suggest other ways to do it? To freeze just before you die, means to have hope that in the future you will come back to life...

      I just read about a fatal accident that happened with a tourist that paid to swim among sharks. Many companies lately offer clients the opportunity for uncaged encounters with tiger sharks and great hammerheads, particular species which are known to Attack humans! They basically throw fish and meat into the water to attract a group of sharks and they then dive into the water to get very close to them...
