Anyone else get the feeling that our society is becoming too anti-intellectual? In my frustration I wrote a poem about it.

Knowledge desert, thirsty brain,
I'm the one who feels this strain.
Ignorami bumbling by,
Drooling, blank stares in the eye,
Noises coming from their necks
On fashion, sports, T.V. and sex.
On matters of some real import
I speak my mind, but no retort.
"Was Nietzsche right?" â?? "Are those fake boobs?"
"The euro...good?" â?? "What's on the tube?"
"Is free will real?" â?? "I like big trucks."
"Can AIDS be cured?" â?? "The Yankees suck!"
