"Fools listen only to what they want to hear. An intelligent person knows that listening to facts that he or she doesn't want to hear can avert disaster."

Well, I can see their point... we ARE talking about kids watching puppets. Perhaps it really is a bit OTT to expect children to be "intelligent"?

Then again, there are a lot of adults watching the puppets on Fox and the puppets in government and it appears THEY can't make an intelligent decision... for whatever reason and there seems to be many reasons.
