6. A Reflection On A Lazy Country...
One thing I've noticed in my way too many years on this rock is the ongoing dumbing down of our culture...we've become an intellectually lazy society where winning means more than anything and it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there. It's easier to let someone else do the thinking...suck in the talking points and feel superior than to question. It's also a product of a mass consumer society where people expect a lot with little in return. Thus we have developed a portion of our population that feels entitled simply because they exist and consume and look to hate radio and Faux to reinforce their own selfish and lazy desires. And when they lose, they feel its best to be sore losers than to ever accept responsibility or failure. A sad commentary on our culture and why its easy for a Faux to infest and poison this country body politic.
