Even if the Midwest is granted a certain amount of insularity, this ignorance reflects more than disinterest in current affairs; it indicates the Zeitgeist of a nation which--formerly complacent about its technological superiority--has failed to insist upon rigorous education, especially in science...

And even a bad line somehow seems great when Gary pays it out as smooth as tooth paste. As for a good line, he can drop...
