March 27, 200422 yr Television, movies, newspapers and magazines are mostly filled with meaningless chatter. People become famous for no good reason. Literacy is on the decline. Good books, by and large, go unread. The sensitive and the insightful go largely unrecognized. Official discourse is vulgar and shallow. Standing on principle is considered bizarre. Money and youth and fame are everything.

Hmm, more the reason to go to my website, to get away from the mindless media chatter What irks me most is when people like Chomsky are considered "insightful". Sorry I keep bring it up, I just hate that guy. I'm too tired that no one reads, that TV but baseball sucks, that the agressive always prevail, and idiocy runs rampid. Sigh. I don't know about the youth thing though, all the world's dictators...err...leaders are 50 or older.
March 27, 200422 yr Yeah it is pretty sad. The best example is MTV's "I want a famous face". What a bunch of obsessed losers...

March 29, 200422 yr No, it is just that your a negative vidictive jerk at times. Oh, that's rich. And you're a humble kid who considers all viewpoints and knows that he couldn't possibly have the answer to all of society's ills.
