I know that this is my MLB blog, but I would hardly accuse NASCAR of "dumbing down" the American public. How can auto racing be a way of making people more ignorant of things? I think you might want to consider our faulty education system and the lack of parenting in today's society as bigger problems than NASCAR.<BR/><BR/>For your information, I am an informed citizen who is more than aware of what his government is failing to do in this country. Why should I waste my time dwelling on a bureaucratic system run primarily by wealthy, white politicians (i.e. lawyers) who could care less about me? Watching cars go around a track isn't happening from my couch ... it is happening at the track. I choose to go to races in person (as well as watch and/or listen to races) because it is how I choose to spend my money as a leisure activity. If you don't like it, don't watch it, but don't preach to me on how I should change my behavior.<BR/><BR/>This world has too many preachers / evangelists / professors who all claim to be "experts" in their fields. Not everyone can be an expert, and I doubt that you are one either. Choosing a user name like "j. dobson" must mean you aspire to be writer / commentator James Dobson who doesn't have a clue when it comes to the American marketplace. Dobson is a "know-it-all" type anyway, so you fit right in.JD Rentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859911664144497636noreply@blogger.com
