This country seems to have developed a distorted set of priorities, your video game commentary being just one example among many. We seem to have lost our sense of what matters most and what doesn't; what's important and what isn't, in so many areas: value of items (in terms of dollars); what various jobs are worth to society (in terms of their relative pay), what our tax dollars are used for; what we teach (and don't teach) our kids; what's worth standing up for (and what isn't); the list goes on and on. I sometimes fear we've lost sight of our national vision.
