They watch "Fear Factor" where people are paid to eat bugs and they can't tear themselves away from their iPods and cellphones. They buy poorly built, gas-guzzling automobiles of ultra-low quality because the football player on the screen tells them to do that. They can't think for themselves. How can anyone expect their kids to be any sort of an improvement on that? I don't deny any of that. I'm not sure if Leave it to Beaver was really any more demanding on the intelligence than Fear Factor, though. Andy Peters said:
The point that's missed is simply that the rich have no intention of letting the lower-classes join in the fun. The lower classes don't stay in the lower class because the rich keep them there. They stay in the lower classes because they are too busy watching Fear Factor to actually better themselves and get ahead in life. I really cannot accept anyone that truly believes that the "rich are out to get them." It does, however, suggest to me that the Democrats' efforts of the 90's to engage in class warfare were, in fact, somewhat successful. That's too bad. Regards, Craig Steiner |
