The Destruction of Olympus

     Watching the fall of the famous names of the entertainment and political industries strikes me as similar to watching the destruction of Mount Olympus.  It is as if the Greeks had discovered an unexpected flaw in their gods, and in that instant, they became irrelevant to those who just the day before had built such impressive monuments to them. 
     It began slowly with the vilification of the aging demi-gods.  Once they had been condemned, it moved on to the disgracing of the Titans.  Finally, once the Titans were gone the mob moved to the gods and the leveling of Olympus itself.
     As this pantheon of gods is cast aside who will replace them?  In this age of instant fame and condemnation, the people need their gods to worship and destroy.
