The Salivating Masses

Writing last time about the student athlete misnomer, I was not suggesting that there was a solution to the problem or that people were even aware there was a problem.  Americans love to be entertained.  To the determent of public discourse or intellectual curiosity.  Americans are largely innumerate, only vaguely grasp the scientific method, and unable to make discerning choices in regards to their lives.  A terrible thing in a democracy.
