OPINION
Stupidity saturates
entertainment
For two seasons now, the MTV show
The Newlyweds has earned tremendous success and high ratings by
showing the intimate and everyday details of the life of Nick Lachey and
Jessica Simpson as newlyweds.
Consumerism eclipses civic duty
Even though a great deal of people
are registered to vote, the percentage of Americans who actually vote in
presidential elections has been declining for a number of years. Only about
50 percent of the eligible voters in the United States even go to the polls
on Election Day.
Apathy destroys creativity
I don't care about anything. Well,
I suppose that's not entirely true. I occasionally find myself getting
mildly riled about some political issues, and I care about the various
important people in my life, but basically, when it comes to me and my
future, I just don't care.
