But stupid people don't amuse me...they annoy me. There are far too many of them already, and then they breed...
Oh, and while my brain is on the subject of newspapers, two more things to send Mordor-ward:
The gradual dumbing down of newspapers, magazines, and news broadcasts.
and...
The media bias. This is not because I'm conservative and the media's liberal. Ok, not entirely. This is because I want to be considered intelligent enough to decide my own political and philosophical views and interpretation of current events within my framework, rather than have somebody else's shoved down my throat. Especially when it's all in little words at a third-grade reading level.
Oh, and infotainment. You know, that recent tendency of the news media to report Britney's marital status and who got kicked off of American Idol as news of equal importance to the Hussein trial. Which, incidentally, I haven't seen even mentioned in a while.
*sigh* Those of you from places other than the US...is there a country you know of, with a really strong aviation industry, that treats its citizens like they're capable of making their own decisions?
