I hadn't thought of it as a chick show. Now that you mention it though, I assume they are trying to attract the same kind of people who would watch Desperate Housewives. As for whether or not most chicks wander around in an unfocused daze, I think that women are becoming increasingly complacent. Our foremothers fought for our rights to be educated and have the freedom to choose what we want to do with our lives and for the most part all we have done with it is used those rights to buy bigger boobs and clothes that barely cover our asses. Why let men debase us when we can do it so well ourselves? Young girls don't want to be Elizabeth Cady Stantons or Jane Goodalls. They want to be Britney Spears and that sleazy Hilton girl. We live in a materialistic society. What you have is much more valuable than what you know. Respecting knowledge makes you a geek, an outcast. No little girl wants to be an outcast. That's where the dazed cluelessness begins. I think the issue is really just a symptom of a greater problem. As Americans in general we have become complacent. We are Sisyphus. We rolled our boulder to the top of the hill, but couldn't make it over. We're watching the boulder roll back downhill, picking up more momentum making the odds of ever getting it under control nil. Just my couple o' cents, Kim I have never watched Grey’s Anatomy, but I have assessed from the commercials that I would rather operate on myself than have to be taken to such a hospital.
