but it's so hard to, you know, capture that when your so mediated and you're so bombarded by
things in every direction. There's a lot more that's going on in entertainment that's
changing our culture in ways that's damaging and if we don t pay attention to that when what s going to happen to us.
>>DAN CALLAWAY: We are cut of in our culture. We've got these
little minds that work, and we re just completely disconnected for this and I think we have
our enlightenment fathers to thank for that in many ways. But um, there's not integration.
>>*** STAUB: One of the frustrations of this younger generation is that there were things
