American pop culture: flaws & flourishes

[Loren Booda]

How can a nation obsessed by Michael Jackson's "pedophilia" and Britney Spears' "marriage" ever responsibly endorse a leader with the ability to destroy the world? Does democracy necessarily coexist with the dregs and dears of society in a morality play? Will our silent majority's part be respected in times of need - its players being most of the Earth's other peoples?

It would be interting to know how many of the trash culture fans ever vote at all.

I've known rich voters and poor ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but I've never known any who cared about celebrity hijinks.
