And you want to know something? I agree with him. When I was in
high school I thought that about 25% of Americans were complete idiots.
By the time I got out of the Navy my estimate was up to 50%. When I
graduated college, it was 80%. Today, I honestly feel that about 85-90%
of Americans are complete morons.

Right. They're morons. They believe anything they're told like mindless
zombies. I have no pity for them. At least, no more than I do for the
puppies that get put to sleep everyday at the pound.

They feel clueless because they are clueless. There is more to making it
than good looks and brawn. You also need brains, contacts, and a
willingness to do whatever it takes. This is true of *ANY* industry.
To deny this is to acknowledge that you're missing the brains part.

No, they control your lives, not mine. It's not my fault if the majority

Uh, here's a hint for all you clueless twits out there. TV is a business.
*ALL* TV. This includes the news. But who cares? I mean, whether or not
Arnold is an S&M loving, wife swapping, bi-sexual AIDS transmitter has
absolutely no bearing on my life. Why not? Well, I couldn't care less
what he does in his own bedroom and I don't plan on sleeping with him.
Thus, I don't understand why his life should be news to me. Additionally,
anybody who has unprotected sex with somebody they don't *KNOW* deserves
every disease he or she gets. Again, no sympathy.

Why all the fuss? Oh! I forgot, you take these people seriously.
: can’t. The name of her biography should be named “I married the mob,
and

: make a pass at her, and she was so smitten she decided that he was the

make

columnist

: I want Congress to break up Time Warner, Viacom and the others.
: News must not be the slave of entertainment I do not expect to survive
As long as news is run by businesses, it will be. No ifs ands or buts.
If you split up Time Warner, someone else will just fill the void.
Unless, of course, you would like the media to be *controlled* by Uncle
Sam (now isn't that a scary thought?).
: this campaign. Even if I win, I’m done. History will be much kinder
than

: said I had sex with Arnold. I refused.
And so, I ask you: Why in the hell should I care?
