Tyler,

You contributed nothing to the conversation.

Way to throw a bunch of buzzwords into a paragraph and call it a "rebuttal".

English is degrading at an alarming rate. That doesn't mean that the next generation will be any less effective at expressing themselves, but these technologies don't really help with the skills we need out in the real world.

Technology helps us connect, but some people get so immersed that they lose the interactions that make up 95% of communication. That's retarded.

The only thing naive is Grogan's use of "mainlining bandwidth" You can't mainline a measure of capacity!

Thank you for writing this column, as I'm sure it took a great deal of courage to associate a face with these views.

I do have to say that I agree with you completely. During the lead-up to the election, I was constantly hounded for my political stance by locals, with the most popular question being 'Why Obama? Isn't he that muslim [insert random racial slur here]?'. Why something like this should matter to these back-ass-wards folk is beyond me but it seems that most people in Oklahoma are either: A. Too retarded to see the distinction between the left and right, liberal and conservative and/or B. Have never been out of the state for any prolonged period.

Even coming from Texas I can see the downfalls of this type of thinking.

But as many have said before me, you will probably have to leave the state to find a place where the default mindset is not some backwater hick mob mentality.

But hey, worse comes to worse, most of the backwards oklahomans will remain in OK where they belong, leaving the educated ones to flee by the masses. Just don't raise your kids here.
