Hey thanks for the invite. I gotta say DUH... I THINK I got that movie on dumbing down. That girl all mucky n stuff? My older girl is working on her PhD in computer sciences and she and her coworkers at the medical computer programming parts etc plant just did a mud challenge with a bunch of other nerds. And they came out of it looking just like that! Actually, that film is an over simplification of the whole programme. Have you heard of the Frankfurt School? Of how this dumbing down is an age old ploy? You don't think Caesar burned down the Alexandrian Library by CHANCE do you?!!! That was a knowledge grab, plain and simple. I think you would like my blog babes... I do tons of stuff on these things you mention.

Thank you very kindly, comments like yours are a really big help at keeping me going.
