Americans in general think that knowing who won the latest "reality" show is more important than science, math or literacy, that is if we consider time spent as an indicator. The reason for our failing is that we lead the world only in leisure. As a society we are lazy. We spend millions of dollars a year looking for the easiest way to pass the time, television, movies etc. We have the ultimate "microwave mentality", if it takes longer than 45 seconds to achieve a goal it's just too much trouble. We will never be the top of anything worthwhile while sitting in a recliner with a remote in our hand.
