I’m 69 years old. How puzzling it is to me that midlife problems are at least as bad for Boomers as they were for me. Worse, maybe, because of the money crunch. As long as you can keep your boat afloat, things get better, Honest.

Naked & Queen,
The lowest common denominator came to my mind yesterday when a friend sent a recap of the civil & criminal records of our Congressional Representitives!
The media has had an unprecidented opportunty to raise the consciousness of our society and instead has gone the way of mass marketing and dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.
I’m a midwestern conservative that will defend Bill Moyers’ access to television until the day I die! If it wasn’t for Bill and the Discovery Channel my TV would have been tossed from the second floor window long ago!
Is this our legacy to our cildren?
Is this the best we could do?
I can do better!
I will do better!
Brad

That’s funny! I was going to put that in my piece about the “lowest common denominator” except that I’m afraid the media has it all wrong. We really aren’t as stupid as they think!!! Maybe they’re the stupid ones.

I think the real reason is that the media is now catering to the lowest common denominator.
We are not supposed to use our brains for thinking but instead are being entertained with useless fluff.
