Art rather than science

PJ ORourke had a point we sure need a laugh - the world has become far too religious for its own good
Didn't go far enough thogh - naming solutions is not the same as creating real comedy .
According to O' Rourke we are suffering under a dictatorship of boredom. In other words, every public issue and policy, every regulation, piece of legislation, executive act, and joint resolution is made so complicated, obfuscatory, and tedious that, as P J. puts it, "the regular people get hopelessly confused, as though they'd fallen a month behind in their high school algebra class."

How true so what about you - where is the starting point ?
