I understand the humorous reactions to the stupidity of “Man on the Street” type questions-answers that have become mainstream. But at the same time it is a serious reflection on where we are headed. I think it was O’Reilly’s show where he had a staffer head to a beach in New Jersey to ask basic questions such as “Who did we fight in the Civil War?” or “Who attacked Pearl Harbor...?” Laughing at responses to the former “China” or latter “Korea” is a recipe for doomsday.
