We Cannot Amuse Ourselves to Death

This article is about Neil Postman, one of America's unsung heroes.

Americans no longer talk to each other, they entertain each other. They do not exchange ideas; they exchange images. They do not argue with propositions; they argue with good looks, celebrities, and commercials.

I am not sure this is all the accurate anymore. People have gone one step better - they do not exist, and they do not argue.
