<p>[QUOTE="Ed23, post: 2162866, member: 32117"]Here we go again. I thought we had moved passed this ability of yours to respond without reading. You must have some fuse loose to write this nonsense. Just where in my comment do I say Americans are lazy? I'm pointing out a fact that MOST do not like to use what little time they have after work, yard and family duties for a book, especially a technical one. Most regular people come home and want to unwind a bit and eat before heading to bed to try to get some sleep. So just what part of this is considered lazy? Trying to sleep? Trying to unwind? or, is it coming home from work? Or are you just above everyone and everything that doesn't permit your ability to leisurely sit back and read a book while looking down on those who don't?</p><p><br /></p><p>My point was we Americans have a 1000 things that vie for our attention every second we are awake.
