Thank you, Sion. In a culture that revels in plastic, dumbed down humor and nearly sullen self-righteousness, you understand.

Agree with every point but the last. Understand... me? Looks like a fun ride, though! *\;-)

"Dumbed down humor"? Jeez, it's been DECADES since I decided that it wasn't worth watching any teevee program so stupid it had to tell its viewership when to laugh. A total insult, even before the laugh tracks sounded off on such stupid things I felt like I was in the midst of idiots. (Though a majority of those of significantly below-normal intelligence I've known were quite a bit brighter than those laugh tracks.)

My friend, I was trying to be a bit--shall we say?--diplomatic with the younger and more media-entranced folks. Believe me, I understand the history of America's "dumbening," as you clearly do.

Perhaps we should also have a public viewing of Mike Judge's "Idiocracy?"
