		<description><![CDATA[Recommend &quot;Boys Adrift&quot;--good book that puts most of this In useful perspective.  One quibble--I don&#039;t think Mary Tyler Moore had a roommate -- Rhoda was in the apartment next door.  I have affectionate memories of this show, and it never seemed very political to me at the time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shallow. ABC was pioneering the urban sitcom much earlier (He &amp; She, Occasional Wife, Bewitched), and frankly the Simpsons are not miserable. Bewitched is the first show in my memory where the male figure was an idiot, and the first show in my memory with an openly gay character (Paul Lynde). Yeah, Norman Lear was guilty, but he wasn&#039;t first.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The irony being, Edith was intended to be the stupidest one.


I&#039;ll never forget this exchange between Gloria and Archie:


Gloria: &quot;Did you know that [x number] of people are murdered each year by handguns?
Archie: &quot;Would it make you feel better, little girl, if they was pushed outta windows?&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[well Aunt Bea took over the motherly duties to Opie more or less.  So there was at least a female &quot;role model&quot; in there somewhere.


You probably could be excused for not realizing Andy was a widower; it was barely mentioned in the show itself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[well many drugs do have different effects on different people, but lack of motivation is something a lot of people agree on in regards to pot.  Heck, even Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy agrees on that (and the writers on the Simpsons, and I&#039;m pretty sure all the writers on BOTH those shows have personal experience to relate to it). 



I&#039;ve never tried the stuff myself, but I know people who did.  



Now mind, this lack of motivation doesn&#039;t necessarily extend past the getting-high part.  However, if one&#039;s getting high constantly on pot, one does extend the time period of lack of motivation.  Occasional users would not have this problem as much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking more to the point of generalizing: Was it the Pol Pot regime that killed everyone who wore Glasses?
Always many, many exceptions to generalizations which also shows the absurdity of Tribalism.
There is one generalization that I like to believe:

There are many stupid Conservatives but absolutely no intelligent Liberals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;whatever anybody says about it, does make people have no motivation.&quot;
Very clichéd, non factual generalization. Maybe it makes YOU lose your motivation. Think for a minute. Generalizing the behavior of everyone is better left to Liberals and the IslamoNazis. Ritalin is another example :Calms and focuses the hyper, hyper-activates the
more lugubrious. No one size fits all.]]></description>
