That's one tenth of the population in one single hour parked in front of their TVs. A huge number. Nevermind all of the other trashy shows on that week, or those substituting scarfing down a Big Mac in the place of insightful dinner table discussion. There is no appreciation for what goes on outside the city limits unless it's got enormous cleavage or you can send a text message to it.

I fully agree. America has dumbed down tremendously. That's not to say that other countries haven't just as well but America in a leadership position cannot afford to more than many others.

And freedom's enemies are laughing.
