I agree, Will. If this kind of stuff served as an entry point for more
serious study, then fine. More likely though, that's as deep as the viewer
goes, and that's what they are left with. But I was a history major, so
it's probably some twisted, deeply rooted reaction on my part. I wish we
had an equivalent to Garrison Keilor's P.O.E.M. (Professional Organization
of English Majors) to join <s>.
