All of our heroes are immature, women watch immature men and women on soap operas, men watch immature men in sports. Maturity is boring, there's no drama, nobody to send on Jerry Springer, nobody to oggle at in the pages of the tabloids. The people who really are mature don't make headlines, they aren't exciting, they don't drive fast cars and they don't marry trophy wives. They just get things done and live simple, quiet lives and that's just not exciting. I really wish I knew how to fix the problem but I don't know if this one has a solution. So long as the majority of Americans are immature themselves, we will continue to elect immature politicians. I guess we get the kind of government we deserve.
