But you're right that some of the content is as good as or better than the theatrical plays that are so often revered as the height of culture. <BR/><BR/>Then again, we also have like four nights a week of "Deal or No Deal."Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796345438886867796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-20584705584556345632008-02-19T08:54:00.000-05:002008-02-19T08:54:00.000-05:00Julie, I refer you to your first comment and I sta...Julie, I refer you to your first comment and I stand by my own.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980072484914437668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-35101847217481517812008-02-18T09:27:00.000-05:002008-02-18T09:27:00.000-05:00Mickey, are you full of shit or did your fever bur...Mickey, are you full of shit or did your fever burn off too many brain cells?<BR/><BR/>"...being able to think critically hinges on our ability to think critically..."

You and I being able to think critically hinges on our ability to think critically, and that's more than most folks can handle. A lot of people I know would just rather not think at all, so distraction is exactly what they're after.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980072484914437668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-75377301548888010292008-02-17T19:22:00.000-05:002008-02-17T19:22:00.000-05:00I r gud comment leavr.I r gud comment leavr.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245359960166359487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-91610592182077420552008-02-17T16:19:00.000-05:002008-02-17T16:19:00.000-05:00Have you heard of MXit.
