We should thank Photo Journalists and others for preserving reality for us. The reality of what life is really like for the majority of people on the planet is 
difficult to comprehend, especially for those of us who live on the outer fringe.
For almost seventy years citizens of the United States experienced themselves as living on the edge and outside of the “fishbowl” looking inward, with occasional concern for the fish in bowl. Earthquakes, floods and other disasters would catch our attention, but it was always someone else’s problem and we would dump money on it like it was water and we were putting out a fire.
In the last ten years we’ve begun to slip into the reality of the rest of the world (our feet are wet) and find it difficult to hide behind Lindsay Lohan’s incarceration or Tiger Woods’ overindulgence and we can hear the utter fear in peoples voices and on their faces as their reality inches closer and closer to that of the rest of the world.
