World Still Cheating?

You know what quite interesting lately, is the lack of cheating that I have heard in through my friends as well as in the media.  I mean, of course, there is Kim Kardashian scandal but other than that the last real cheating I have heard was maybe Ashton Kutcher or at the cheater of the century, Tiger Woods.

It's funny because during recessions, people generally stay together...either standards have gone down or people become more accepting and understanding of those they are with.  I have always said that in order to have a successful relationship, you need to:

1. Know your purpose and realize what you want to accomplish in life
2. Know what you want from your relationship and follow through

For those that are in current successful relationships, good for you!  You have probably either at one point thought about both of those.  Usually when you have been burned a few times, you really know what you want from your life and from your partner.  From the early 90s to just before the recession of 2005, there was a huge trend in the number of cheaters and divorces in the US.  If you look in the last few years, that statistic has dropped dramatically.

Are people settling because of lack of money?  Have we become more mature?  I think its a little of both to be honest.  Generally, people cheat because they are lacking something but have nothing to lose.  Now it seems that they do have something to lose - 50% of their income!  Keep it real and keep being loyal.  Happiness is what you make of it and if you're unhappy then you shouldn't be where you are but that doesn't mean you can find a side piece.

Media BiAsses

Just a quick comment on the recent media, well more or less media in general and how it has been for quite sometime...biased.  We know that CNN is more or less liberal and that FOX is more or less conservative but it seems that everyone has their own agenda.  No matter what media channel you are reading, watching, etc - each news carrier will include or exclude based on what they feel is important.  Case in point, Ron Paul who has been a regular debater as well as winning several straw polls has been excluded from media comment for the most part.  That's okay because...

It's actually great because social media has taken over exponentially in the last five years replacing the need for traditional media.  Most people get their news from Twitter, RSS Feeds and Facebook these days.  Just on the radio today, I heard that there was a fire in Fire Island and none of the regular news agencies picked it up but Facebook had it on local newsfeeds because those living there had put it in their status.

The social media revolution has already helped to topple over three governments in the past two years and it seems like it will help bring about change around the world in other countries as well.  So while the media continues to remained BiAssed, we'll stick to our social media for "fair and balanced" news.  Thanks.
