    I have this book, and while I generally like it and the photos are excellent, it's disappointing to find numerous inaccuracies and typos throughout.

    In the last three decades journalism -- in all its varied forms -- has diminished in quality. Poor research, unsubstantiated claims, little if any attribution of sources, spelling, grammar, context, and word usage. You see this sloppiness in headlines, banners, bullet points, footnotes, memes, and basic text.

    We've all been dumbed down by a failed Public School System that has de-prioritized the three R's. Today's high-school diploma has all the gravitas of a 'participation trophy'.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
