THOUGHTS

'Geek' culture is replacing any other kind. That's why there are college classes on superhero theories now.

I was in a restaurant today. Two men (one of them the owner) were comparing notes on the prices of their techno doo-dads (most of them being handy ways to watch movies): 
"Well, you know, you can't beat that price. (happy) You know, with the slave labor they use over there..." 
"That's right; you got a choice between people here working for ten dollars an hour, and over there for twenty five cents, which are you gonna choose?" 
I can certainly understand wanting to save money, but few people are thinking about what our country will produce (and will provide employment for) besides media entertainment and politics.
