#15: Are we "too entertained" and distracted?

Are we too entertained and distracted to make the choices to learn new skills, dig deep into government policy (which effects all of us) or carve out time to be more healthy and "alive." Are we so awash in entertainment that we just can't break away to accomplish all the things we want to do with our lives? Could we "Fix America" if we spent more time thinking and innovating rather than being "entertained." Also, we will discuss "Chimerica" in the Ascent of Money. We'll also chime in on the presidential debates.
