The majority of people in the Western World have lost the abillity to think for themselves regarding making choices. For reasons that have been mentioned above, they find it much easier to "go with the flow". The result is that the music, TV programmes and films that appeal to "the lowest common denominator" in taste are those that gain quickest mass acceptance and lead to "the Gutter Culture" that is so prevelant today. Yes, I am an elitist and proud of it, because without people being prepared to say this Gutter Culture is wrong we will, in the long run all loose out. Bob
