mathew-4D459FD2@fireden.netarmand-4D459FD2@fireden.netCivilization trundles off to hell in a hand-basket while Kim Kardashian, Oprah and Snooki make millions, and Puritan voyeurs watch 'Survivor'. The ancient Roman curse of 'bread and circuses' has been replaced in modern America and our cultural satellites by 'fast food and cable', as this once-generative culture devolves into fear-driven lemmings hiding behind barred doors &amp; windows and security alarms, mesmerized by the flickering images on the tube. An entire country mesmerized and asleep at the wheel.
