Take sports -- thats another crucial example of the indoctrination system, in my view. For one thing because it -- you know, it offers people something to pay attention to thats of no importance. That keeps them from worrying about things that matter to their lives that they might have some idea of doing something about. And in fact its striking to see the intelligence thats used by ordinary people in discussions of sports as opposed to political and social issues. I mean, you listen to radio stations where people call in -- they have the most exotic information and understanding about all kind of arcane issues. Noam Chomsky (thanks Justin Valis)
