The Earth Module landed at Cochiti Lake in New Mexico. Once we got settled the most important thing was to get the TV going. Wow, we got 58 channels, but whoa, 30 of them are crooked stump preachers ripping off poor people with religion. What a business model, simply tell people something, and then ask them to give you money. Seems insane, but it works. All you have to do is figure out some story a poor or ignorant person will believe, then sell them on the story. The best thing about religious fraud is you cannot be prosecuted, and to top off everything you can use every tax dodge religion has. So we end up with crooked stump preachers living in forty million dollar homes flying around in 20 million dollar jets.
The poor rob themselves by going to the casino, and the ones who don't go broke at the casino can turn on the TV and get taken by some religious charlatan. What if we had 30 channels of educational material for free? Hell no, when Kadizzle spun through the fifty channels there was not one intelligent thing on but PBS.
The dumbing down of our country has been amazing. Rush Limbaugh and right wing radio along with the Republicans have made our country's IQ nose dive. Now we believe anything. Look at Donald Trump, one day he says one thing, and reverses the next day. The dolts still love him. Facts, knowledge, and data have gone out of style. Republicans have made stupidity popular.
