Funny but really quite serious

What do YOU make of this ? Have we have gone a bit too far  in admiring those who cultivate  the brilliant comeback? When and how can we insist on developing the ability to really listen and learn .
This is really funny , but only for a moment . How can we stop our  kids from being on just another  overloaded boatload of reactionary rich rhetoric comedians who are not competent at anything and have no intention to be so; Good at making excuses but not getting it right .  Good for a laugh.......but whose paying ?
