You know that there are a lot of fake people out there. I was watching VH1 while I was working out (I was also watching ESPN) and the VH1 show was about super models. They mentioned on the show how some of the supermodels pay their hairdressers $80k a year. They also mentioned how supermodels had to have the most expensive jewelery and clothing. In fact, part of the criteria for clothing was that it looked expensive. Supermodels definitely seemed fake and superficial - they aren't real people.
Something else occurred to me while I was watching this show - politicians aren't real. Who knows who politicians really are, or the people that help out the politicians. The problem with the political process is that you have to sell your soul by making so many promises to get anywhere. Even people that help out with campaigns end up selling out. I'm sure that people get involved in politics for good reasons to begin with, but after a while they have to compromise in order to help people out. After a while, they forgot why they got into politics to begin with and now are willing to do anything to maintain their position. It's really depressing, so many people put their hope and faith into a political party or a political leader - all that will happen in the end is that the person will be let down. As much as politicians try to be real, they are just as fake as supermodels. They talk about the common man, when they are members of country clubs and have houses in Martha's Vineyard.
All I know is that God is real, and God won't let His children down. God does understand the common man (woman).

I totally agree that "real" people are so hard to find in today's world. Our society basically thrives on people being hypocritical or trying to cover up who they really are
Like when a friend of yours(who is African American) who spoke in front of a large group of African American engineers. During his lecture he referred to one of Aristotle's claims to prove a point, and an African Amercian woman in the group responded "Well how can we trust him since Aristotle was white?"
This woman very clearly showed her deep seeded racism in that comment, yet this woman would probably be the first to say that racism is wrong and needs to be eliminated. She could probably tell you numerous stories about how white people treated her & friends wrong, but yet her opinion is blatantly hypocritical.
