Life under the sun...

Ecclesiastes 8:14 - There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: righteous men who get what the wicked deserve, and wicked men who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.

This came to my mind when I was watching reruns of 24 on A&E. It wasn't because of anything on the show, it came when I saw a commercial of a program that runs on A&E - Growing Up Gotti. Here is a program that follows a mom and her sons whose wealth and celebrity came as a result of crime. They are famous for being members of a family that made its money from organized crime. They are rich because people were cheated and killed, yet they are glorified.
Now, I understand that the actual people in the television program did not commit the crimes themselves, but are decendents of the actual one(s) who committed their crimes, but the way the show is marketed, the only reason it is on television is so people can see the luxury enjoyed by the offspring of Mafia. The deeds of the wicked are getting the publicitiy we would think someone more deserving should get.......there's nothing new under the sun.
