Does the modern world have more going on to it than it used to? Maybe. Or it could be we just hear more about it due to the news. Regardless, there's a lot of stories out there and it's impossible to be up on them all. Between the sports fiascos, celebrity scandals, political blunders and continual prognostication about the economy fighting for time with swine flu stories in their death throes.
Do I expect Lisa to be up on everything? Certainly not. There's been far too much going on in the world. Yet some issues I would think are so pervasive that you'd at least know the barebones details. Take for example the simple phrase 'fossil fuels'.
To almost anyone those two words evoke a whole range of news stories; global warming, melting polar ice caps, impending world doom, or the simple argument that it's all complete garbage, simply a cycle of warming and cooling the world goes through.
Or you could be like Lisa who upon seeing a headline regarding fossil fuels said "are those the ones made from dinosaurs". I of course indicated the affirmative to which she responded, "so why are those bad?"
