Now, the Russians are horning in on High Tech jobs!
Maybe, just maybe, Americans are going to need a CULTURE ADJUSTMENT!
SOMETHING THAT SAYS TO YOUNG PEOPLE:
Science and Technology are not just for FOREIGNERS AND AMERICAN GEEKS!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CHEERLEADER (for girls) or a FOOTBALL PLAYER
(for boys) TO BE "COOL."
Interestingly, a CULTURAL ADJUSTMENT would be fairly EASY to do!
Using Television no less!
YES, THE VERY SAME BOOB TUBE THAT GIVES US FOX "REALITY" SHOWS, AN
TELLS AMERICAN TEENS THAT THEY BETTER LEARN TO SING AND DANCE AND
SHAKE THEIR "BOOTIES," IF THEY WANT TO BE COOL IN AMERICA.
OF COURSE, THE SCIENCE IS COOL BIT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A "CONSPIRACY"
OF SORTS, AMONG THE NETWORKS, WRITERS AND ADVERTISERS TO PULL IT OFF!
Everyone would have to pull their LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR TRASH off
prime time, all together.
OR PERHAPS, WE COULD JUST STOP TELLING AMERICANS OVER, AND OVER AND
OVER, HOW STUPID THEY ARE!
AND WORSE YET, THAT IT'S OK TO BE A STUPID AMERICAN;
JUST LIKE DUBYA!
JUST LIKE HOMER SIMPSON!
Personally, I have never thought that stupid was cool.....in fact I
think stupid is totally uncool!
BUT THEN, THEY DON'T LET ME WRITE THE SHOWS THAT GO ON NETWORK PRIME
TIME EITHER!
BOTTOM LINE? IT'S NOT "GENETIC."
IT'S REALLY ALL ABOUT THE INTELLECTUALLY TOXIC AMERICAN "POP CULTURE."
That's why Americans can't compete in science and technology!
