Let me get this straight: you're saying that Americans are too reliant on television for information, and to support your analysis you're watching cable news? We can both agree that there should be more healthy debate, both in general and in the media. So far though your argument has been that Americans are less civically-minded, and your supporting evidence has been a few people you talked to who mentioned movies and watching American infotainment television. This isn't a particularly useful or interesting conversation for me at this point, so I'm going to go back to work. Thanks!
