Jerry Brown: Still Clueless

Yeah, Jerry is showing himself out of touch with the modern and is railing against it:

Long ago, America's founders assumed an educated electorate and the deliberative discussions and reflections that a slower age invited. Then it was an Age of the Book. Now it is the Age of the Screen and its attendant attention deficit. One report has it that email, web surfing and cell phone use dull the mind more than marijuana.

In Oakland, I have learned the power of neighborhood politics and face-to-face democracy. Democracy lives where citizens have the time and the place for reading and conversation--without the debilitating distortions of electronic transmissions.

Thanks for the warning Jerry, we are all so debilitated by the ability to find information on any subject at any time that we can no longer figure out what is real and what isn't.

Funny. Jerry is using a blog with no comments to spread the word. So much for conversation.

Could we take this as elitists calling the world too stupid to understand, again?
