PHEW! Your texts are marathons! But, I definitely agree. Yes, thinking is evidently a burden today. What passes for "entertainment" underscores your analysis. The style today is to GRAPHICALLY spell out everything rather than have viewers fill in the blanks with their own minds. It's very sad, and this mental laziness permeates our current culture today.
Like the little Dutch boy, we can only plug the growing number of leaks in the **** with our fingers...but, eventually, we run out of little Dutch boys and fingers.
