Public servants do not deserve fan boys and girls.

Public servants do not deserve fan boys and girls.   
I just realized today that each time one of these public servants decides to give a speech, the crowd is full of fan boys and girls.  Is this really how our civic duties should be conducted?  A crowd full of yes men and women cheering on their media whore?  it is pathetic.

I'd rather see a crowd full of people who each hold strong ideals, and hold close the belief in liberty and justice for all.  When you go to a public servants speech you shouldn't be able to tell that the crowd is full of fan boys and girls.  I'd rather see a crowd full of informed people who pay close attention to what is being said, people with a back bone, people who will be critical, and will force our public servants to be held accountable, not a crowd full of civillians wishing for an autograph of their favourite celebrity.  it is pathetic.

Though, I suppose I'm living in a pipe dream right now wanting this because there is no way it will happen with our current post modern society as it exists today.  it is pathetic.

I guess I'm really bitching about journalists not really being journalists, or the mainstream media not really being fair and balanced...  bah.  it is pathetic.

are there any ways to exploit this? which should cause people to feel even stupider then they already are.
