how is it that the average american knows more about professional sports , whats playing at the movies or on television , what celebrity is in rehab , how much a new suv costs , what the neighbor lady or man is really doing on those nights when they are supposed to be working late , and who has been listed as filing for bankruptcy in the local newspaper than they know about how much money their government is borrowing from foreign countries to pay for bogus pre-emptive wars that are going to eventually have to be paid back by our children ?
