Tom Tomorrow is always great and he hits the nail on the head in the only way its acceptable-like Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, and Steven Colbert----he has to cloak his criticism of things in the guise of humor or satire in order for it to be acceptable it seems---

Thanks for posting the comic---

I read his stuff in one of the local "underground" papers. He's usually pretty good.

I guess funny is in the funny-bone of the beholder.

I didn't think it was funny - more so stupid.

Just my :2cents:

I remember seeing something on the evening news some years back. They were on the streets asking what we should do about North Korea and used a blank world map to have those whom they asked to point out the country. One guy stated "We need to nuke North Korea, thats right...nuke this whole area." The place he was pointing was Australia. *Shakes head in disgust*

We've gotten so used to technology doing our thinking for us, letting our kids play more video games and read fewer books, allowing ourselves to stop thinking critically about things.

These things have made major contributions to the dumbing down of society. Every society, everywhere in the world.

We are becoming more and more like cavemen and less and less like enlightened people.
