My focus has kind of been on teenagers, you know, and I think we've got a huge crisis right now in America, among our teens.

The following is a list of statements made many years ago by experts in their fields. At the time they were said they sounded intelligent. With the passing of time, they sound idiotic.

The average teen today spends about 35 hours a week in front of a screen of some kind: iPod, movie, TV, video. And a lot of it is good, but a lot of it's not. And so I think you've got that five hours a day of media coming into your kid's head that's creating a lot of havoc out there.

Strong minds talk about ideas; weak minds talk about people.

Honesty is always the best policy, even when it's not the trend.
