Americans need to wake up to the real world

Wednesday, August 1, 2007 11:28 AM EDT

The recent hype over Harry Potter shows me that the average young American, especially females, live in a media fueled dream-world. I'm afraid America is doomed unless something happens to shock these people back to reality. Enter al Qaida.

" As a tax paying ADULT, I can tell you that I truly enjoyed the lead up to the most recent book release and that the book is fantastic. This author is incredible with her imagination and her ability to draw one into the story. What is wrong with encouraging children to read and being able to discuss what you read with your children? Even if it is fantasy? Would you rather them watch CNN and watch all the death and despair that is reported? Sorry, but I'd rather my kids read a 700 or so page book. "

" Harry Potter is simply a great story that has gone on for years similar to a soap opera-maybe thats why females take to it..But many MALES love it too as they love WWE & STAR WARS which are the male version of soap operas! I happen to like harry and of course, like all fairy tales we want a happy ending! That is why girls are brought up to be Princesses and boys are brougt up to be Princes! "
