Over the top
What has happened to the world and its people? Dressing up and being in the lime light has driven people to madness when it comes to showing off. There must be a rating system that the common people have not yet understood. But maybe I'm wrong and people have all but lost the plot. I know someone who has recently been to Lebanon where there are people lining up for day surgery to change their look, word got around that its cheap and it makes you feel good.

Politicians have fallen for the media celebrity carrot when you here a story about Condoleezza Rice searching for shoes worth $35,000 and Imelda Carlos with her collectable shoes. Can you believe Politicians are now rated in magazines on the way they dress and how much it's costing the tax payer for their partying that last beyond the normal hours into the night, their scoffers are earning a packet waiting around in cars for them to stagger out of the balls. Recently a female politician was shamed in Australia by her driver for trying
