This may sound strange, but I attribute it to television. TV has ruined everythig it has touched, from sports to politics.

I have an old book (unread by me) that advocates the destruction of the television before your kids get addicted to the set. AND my son told me that data suggested that a TV in the master bedroom greatly increased the chances of divorce.
one more thing: A local college student told me that their political science course has consisted of several movies. That is combining our liberal indoctrination system with the vacuous nature of telebishin.
Give me a good book with a nice binding any day/night. My Kindle is hadly used.
