The whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking of Lynda because she always writes about shiny things and dumbing down and mantras that people accept without real examination, like 'plants crave electrolytes'.

Hi bev,
I happened upon this movie the other day, silly funny movie, but certainly raises a good point
or two about where we are headed. I would say it if worth watching if only for the laughs.

I can't help but interject....LOL...has anyone seen the movie Idiocracy?
I watched it at the bequest of my daughter. It is pretty funny-very much about the dumbing down of our society and how it would happen quickly, evolutionarily speaking, in only 500 years. It is a silly hyperbolic movie, but the scary thing is that you can actually see how we could transform into a society like that. It is from the same guy who made Office Space, if you are familiar with that movie. I guess you could say Idiocracy is his second piece of flair. :)
