\u201cI have a foreboding of an America in my children\u2019s or grandchildren\u2019s time\u2014when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what\u2019s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when the dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites now down to 10 seconds or less, lowest-common-denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.\u201d \u2013 Carl Sagan<\/p>\n
