[Victoria Moon Joyce argues] that adults who identify as "non-singers" are in the majority in mainstream North American society and I attribute this to a number of factors: And thats about as far as this statement goes where it is easy to understand.

I am a reasonably well educated man and I can understand words like marginalize and industrialization; I can't always spell them. But because I can read them and understand them doesn't mean I can make sense of them when used in such windbaggery as this. It is very true that many United Statesians don't sing in public and there are many reasons. Probably most reasons are just as Ms. Joyce described. But it could have been stated more clearly.

I do agree with the statement.
