They don't seem to show much support after the show, except for crazy Aiken fans. I don't know. This whole thing has to end sometime?

The answer is because most people (particularly young people) are ego-maniacs with very little self awareness. They are either too unintelligent or too naive to see what their ridiculous actions actually mean - and how it reflects upon themselves. Or, maybe they just don't care. <BR/><BR/>Why do people feed into this?

Seeking out something new would actually require thought and effort.<BR/><BR/>Another question ... am I always this pretentious, or did I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
