The Dumbing of America

I read a couple opinions in this Sunday's Washington Post Outlook section. In the first, The Dumbing of America, Susan Jacoby paints a pretty bleak picture of the effects of technology on our society. But The End of Literacy opinion attempts to discuss why it's not as bad as it may seem. Interesting reading and thought provoking. But only if you take the time to read them.

Out of curiosity, how many times has a division winner had a worse divisional record than the second place team? To me, the concept of winning a division is kind of flawed. Winning the division to me would be having the best record against your divisional opponents. i.e. If you were 11-5 but 3-3 in the division and the second place team was 10-6 but 4-2 in the division, you didn't really win it.

Danl Boone (aka Fess Parker), back in the 1960s was the bomb !! (I wasnt around for the 50s show). The frontier mountains, bears, log cabins, Indians, British soldiers, outlaws, beautiful women, muskets what a great show. Artistic license? Big whoop; it was indeed based on history and when color TV was brand new, wow!Were going to miss you Fess, keep your powder dry ~~~~

Is it me or have you not produced a RSS feed -.- I want to subscribe!There is certainly some helpful new information regarding your report at Wikipedia. Time to update your write-up I guess :)
