Wisdom of The Crowd. Why you need to SIGN THE(IR) PETITION now. It's a Matter of Life or Death. Possibly yours. When you cannot outrun a Speeding Bullet, Wisdom of The Crowd steps in.



#ASK_Chicago: Class Act Lawsuit against @CBS should be filed (collectively inclusive of each Actor/Writer/Worker/Service [Individual/Company] involved in The Production) of Wisdom of The Crowd (whose Twitter Handle is @wisdomcbs). IF Show was #terminated due 2 Jeremy Piven's - @jeremypiven Indiscretions (of which he underwent a Lie Detector to prove his Innocence), he should go to Court FIRST and FOREMOST, not be fired, terminated and outright humiliated (ruining his Reputation) on-the_Spot by David Gray Rhodes - @davidgrayrhodes, CBS News President acting as self-imposed: #JUDGE #JURY and #LEAD_EXECUTIONER. Hundreds (if not more) of major Talents (who make this Show as unique as it is) are losing their JOBS here. This catapults into Millions of Fans being crushed and devastated.

Q:  Where is The Justice?

A high Percentage of TV Programs (these Days) is schlock Friction & Fiction that carries no Weight, Relevance or has a Message that is vital, especially when it comes to The SURVIVAL of The People – Humanity.  In case you did not notice that is YOU and ME.  And, these Days, it even includes and filters in our beloved Pets (great Part of our Family & Family Life) who can easily be hurt while out on the Rough and Tough Streets of America and subsequently across the  entire World since no locale is immune from Crime and Terror(ism).  Few Shows carry any Meaning or has this Impact.

Let me repeat that for Impact:


 Few Shows carry any Meaning or has this Impact.


Reality TV of “The 90s” is primarily responsible for this Lack of Creativity, Morality and/or  Ethics.
Not only did We faithful Audience Members watch diligently, but, I for one took it upon myself to take Photos with my new Smartphone of my TV Screen and tweeted those Freezeframes (all labeled and captioned) back to The Actors & Writers (namely Blake, Patrick, Jeremy and Ion) who I was corresponding with during its Stint on-air to date.  During The Show as it aired, that is when The Bevy of Tweets really flew wild and fast.

#WisdomCBS and/or #WOTC was how each Tweet was labeled.

At Work the next Day and Days thereafter, an Open Discussion yielded the best Conversation around the Water Cooler. Everyone was thirsty to air their Opinion. Everyone had a View; Everyone got involved in expressing theirs. After all, We were Pioneers on The Verge of exploring new Territory.

Not only is WoTC an exciting Format and Storyline that provokes, but We {as Individuals} were Participants in a LEARNING CURVE – becoming EDUCATED ABOUT The Wonders of WHAT our New Age in High Technology and AI: Artificial Intelligence does and can do to SERVE AND PROTECT People in a World that is strewn with the Worst of Intentions, non-stop Violence, Bloodpaths, Chaos and Mayhem, just short of a(nother) World War.

In my quieter Moments, I often stop and think:  


Where did We ever go so wrong?

What has been disregarded by The Executives who control CBS Programming is the stark Realization that Wisdom of The Crowd is the ONLY Television Show and in The Course of TV Broadcasting that actually AIMS to solve all the Murderous Crimes and Violence that other TV Shows have capitalized in on.

We are all Fans of the Dick Wolf TV Shows with the screeching brakes and blood-soaked Crime & Court & getaway Car Scenes. He has never missed a Beat as outlined here:

http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/dick-wolf/credits/194137/

with 26 Executive Producer Credits;
10 Writer Credits; 
6 Producer Credits;
6 Creator Credits; 
3 Source Credits; 
2 Remarks Credits;
1 Director Credit;
1 Actor Credit;
6 Guest Credits; and
1 Subject (Person only) Credit

His Empire speaks for itself but now the People must be able to advance what they know because they are on The Scene where The Action is occuring.  A Solution to capture and then try these Criminals is what Wisdom of The Crowd offers through High Technology which is at The Forefront of Our Lives.  Why not use and spare another Family a Life of Sadness and Gloom?


Just wait till ONE OF THEIRS has an explosive or deadly Incident happen to them.  Then, CBS Head Honchos will want that Crime solved ASAPe without a Moment to wast in order to pick up "The Pieces of their Lives" and woefully TRY to carry on.

The List of Crime Shows [since TV kicked in and was launched successfully] (after WW2 when The Invention became MORE commonplace) numbers in The Hundreds, possibly more.

Turn to: American Crime Television Series

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_crime_television_series
and your Mind will be boggled as to the diverse and endless Number of Crime TV Shows. 

Movies are not included in this List. Those are found at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_crime_films


As Wiki tells us:
This is chronological list of crime films split by decade. Often there may be considerable overlap particularly between Crime and other genres (including, actionthriller, and drama films); the list should attempt to document films which are more closely related to crime, even if it bends genres.

#STOP_AND_THINK:  If that isn’t telling you something…
AND, I will continue by saying…

Crime is a popular Theme, if not the most popular besides Game and Food Shows. One of the First Books I read after I learned how to read was Truman Capote’s IN COLD BLOOD (published in 1966 and its Movie came out in 1967). As The Cycle revolves:  Books are turned into Movies. Then, these Movies (too) are driven by WHO SOLVED THE MURDER.


Yet, 
now We have a SHOW
in which PEOPLE can be saved 
and 
Families spared the Pain and Heartbreak
 and 
CBS IS AXING THE SHOW.  
This is Total Insanity.

I  refuse and am NOT going to watch or buy Products from a Station that does NOT care for MY WELFARE or those that I love, including Pets, Neighbors and Community.  Wisdom of The Crowd sparks do-able ways on how to PLAY IT SAFER and coalesce as a GROUP in which We can live in a more peaceful World. This is a new Phrase and Mindset for TV. 


VIA MY BLOG HERE CALLED KOOPERSMITHin:  

As I had called a BOYCOTT against CBS when they terminated the Contract of (THEEE) Charlie Rose in November, the same should be done with how abusive CBS  Heads are mistreating the Actors, Writers & entire Staff who makes WoTC as spectacular as it is.

IF CBS does not care for The WELFARE of “Their Viewers and Audience Members who put the BREAD and BUTTER on their Table; provide their Families with a luxurious way and style of Living; make sure they get every coveted Award at every NYC Gala, then they are not worthy of our Allegiance and Patronage.   

The only one who carried this Spark-of-Light was John Walsh who created and produced AMERICA’s MOST WANTED and currently THE HUNT. (T)his Movement of CARING FOR THE PEOPLE came about due to the horrific Abduction/Kidnapping and Murder of his small Son: Adam Walsh on July 27, 1981 that “fueled an epic manhunt.”  Those 4 last Words were derived from a Google Search – Page 1.  Adam's severed Head was found two weeks later in a drainage canal alongside Florida's Turnpike in rural St. Lucie County, Florida.  This Paragraph is every Parent’s Worst Nightmare.

It still breaks my Heart Today to see John’s Face every Time his Shows air.  What he did was take the FIRST STEP before SOPHE was ever invented to track down those who harmed US or Our Loved Ones. 

AND TO PULL A SHOW that does that is utter Insanity.  This goes beyond Ratings.  These are People who watch; who listen; who buy your Sponsor’s Products. WITHOUT US, you’re Toast, Mr. Rhodes et.al.

Which leads me to say that you need not be a PARENT to know how WISDOM OF THE CROWD can save Lives.  Any Person living in Today’s ever-changing World knows about all The SurveillanceCameras at Intersections. When We walk into Stores (Convenience – Department – Grocery -Pet – Florists – Jewelry – Toy) Cameras record our very Moves.  When you turn on The Nightly News (after a long Day where anything can and will happen especially when powered up on gun-fare and drugs), Reels of Crimes are presented of the Perpetrator-in-Action.  

The Psychology behind The News is that The Stations are asking for OUR HELP - The People who watch.  If you see something, say something.  Say it out-loud so that what happens never happens again. Yes, they are PULLING a “Wisdom of The Crowd by airing and broadcasting those Clips in order that The Criminal gets caught.

As a Crime Victim on several Occasions (Break-Ins, Muggings and Hold-Ups) since I have lived in Chicago from June of 1974 to The Present (December, 2017 as this is being penned on December 6), the Worst Situation happened on December 23, 1991 when I was beat-up, robbed and left-for-dead in a Pool of Blood (mine) in the Lobby of my Apartment Building at 1437 West Rosemont.  I was only 10 steps away from the warm and safe confines of my apartment when I was brutally attacked, an Event that would forever change the Course of My Life and it still does.  What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.  Indeed, Words to live by...

Being The Activist that I am, I created Cartoonists Against Crime ©1991 that grew into a Universal Cause.  Sadly, in 2001 I had to produce a Spin-Off called Cartoonists Against Terrorism ©2001 after September 11TH happened.

THE WORLD Situation is not getting any better. If any thing [since I began Cartoonists Against Crime ©1991 26 years ago] Human Behavior evidencing itself as CRIME and VIOLENCE have gotten worse.  The only thing that is our SAVIOR is that High Technology sees (videos, records and films) what We do NOT overtly see and this will send The Criminals away for a long, long time. The SOPHE Mechanism that WoTC uses takes us to a higher more useful Level of Conveyance and Conscience.


THE BOTTOM LINE IS: Had WoTC been around when Charles Lindberg’s Baby Boy of 20 months, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. was snatched and killed…

It does not matter if a Person is affluent and wealthy although “Means and Recognition” help immensely if he/she can afford Body Guards when out on The Streets; Streets that can become a death-bed for an Innocent and Loving Person, a Pillar of The Community or just a regular Gal or Guy like you or me. Being lifted from the safe Confines of one's home (their fortress) is unimaginable as was also the case when 12 year old Polly Klaas was kidnapped at knifepoint during a Slumber from her Bedroom in Petaluma, California. Were there Witnesses? Could the Wisdom of The Crowd helped in this Case?

When mere Children are brainwashed or sold to Terrorist Organizations and programmed to blow themselves up, We [as Mankind] know there is something severely wrong with how We think.  

A barking Dog is alerting you something is wrong.
The "Barking Dog here" is the Viewers of WoTC
There is something severely wrong here that a Program of this Calibre is being cancelled.

WISDOM OF THE CROWD works collectively to save whatever Life We have left.  Don’t We owe this to Future Generations if this Planet is to exist. Survival of The Fittest no longer counts or holds water when 10 year old gang members pack-a-pistol and can kill instantly at any moment. This is the Unraveling of Civilization as We know it and unless there is ONE PROGRAM that lets us know HOW to protect ourselves and our belongings, then Mayhem (like never before) can be expected – if not predicted as I am doing here, a Criminology and Sociology Major (circa Washington University:  1974).

Do to The Powers of The Message WoTC is conveying I penned:
The 2018 Launch of SPY: #Suicide_Prevention_Year. An International People-to-People Alert. Inspired by: Wisdom of The Crowd – CBS.

IN CLOSING:  As The 26TH Year Anniversary of my Founding of Cartoonists Against Crime approaches, I am bittersweet yet forever grateful that I am alive.  That's The BottomLine.  Shaked and rattled at first; but happy I was able to reach out to Strangers at first who later became my Friends) - People  (across The Planet) so that what happened to me would not happen to them.

ViA the incredibly well-written Scripts by their Team of WoTC Writers, they, too, are saving Precious Lives, but on a greater Scale - one that UNFORTUNATELY is needed like never before.

Lets use COMMON SENSE and let your Heart lead The Way in re-instating this TV Program.  If not, you’ll rue The Day that its last Episode aired.  #Mark_My_Words.  All of them.

#ASK_Chicago:  FOOTNOTE:  I ran this Page past my Best Friend and Boyfriend (of 15 years) who always has an Outlook culminating in a prolific Quote for everything (at The Crack of Dawn Today it being December 6, 2017) and he stated a very eloquent Line that I will share with you below. 

“As Artificial Intelligence becomes more advanced and complex, 
it will be The Wisdom of The Cloud.”

Quote of: Robert E. Hofstadter:  December 6, 2017 – 5:07-5:10 AM CST

INSIGHTS: Robert E. Hofstadter: Relative of Richard Hofstadter (who taught in NYC in the 1950s); Robert Hofstadter (Stanford Faculty in California), sharing The 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics; and Douglas Hofstadter at Indiana University who received his Pulitzer in 1980:  My Robert hails from a Winner of 3 Pulitzers and 1 Nobel Prize. I  pride myself in standing in Good Company with People of The Intelligentsia.

FOOTNOTE:   Because I feel there is a WITCH HUNT on against our PrimeTime Actors and Anchors, I also wrote:

#BRING_CHARLIE_BACK! #BRING_CHARLIE_BACK! Boycott CBS. A Return to Radio
http://adriennesiouxkoopersmith.blogspot.com/2017/11/bringcharlieback-bringcharlieback.html

on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 that follows the same Mindset I have established above in and for the Continuation of Wisdom Of The Crowd.
