New media being seriously considered as the culprits for all that is wrong in the modern world? A discussion about this conducted via old mass media rituals of substance-less sound bites? Complaints about youth's irresponsibility and dumbness even as numerous old f**ts vie for eternal youth by getting on Spacebook and My Face (embarrassing their kids in the process) or yakking constantly on their cell phones while they drive or shop? Perhaps current youth aren't dumber. . . they're just dumb in a new way. Christopher J.
