but I see no reason to forego a Calculus lesson for something that can be DVR'd and watched later--especially since, like me, some people don't have an interest in the ceremony itself.
This isn't the Grammys. And, if a kid is in Kindergarten in an inauguration year - he's going to have, what, 4 inaugurations at most.
I can even see skipping one if a guy is re-elected. But, part of our problem is that we want to eschew all the things that make our culture unique (and superior). This is one of those things.
