Americans are the most jaded, medicated, lobotomized, lazy people ever to walk this planet. No other people with the amount of power we have, would allow this to keep going.
Since I haven’t had a TV in 8 years, I haven’t seen the type of shows that are on. I was in a hotel the other night, trying to find something watchable while we wind down for bed. The best thing on was some Coast Guard rescue show. It was the most banal crap imaginable. It was akin to watching a well-child check-up at the local clinic. Another show, on Animal Planet, had some guy moving a house, having all kinds of drama with a low power line. Dramatic music played, computer simulations were shown, while a guy held the line up so the house could be moved. I just can’t imagine that people sit and watch that all day, every day, but since they do, I know why America really sucks.
