THE INHUMAN CRIME
Enron? Tyco? These scandals are minuscule when compared to all else thriving in the offices of corporate America. In fact, they are no match for the scandals in Wall Street, heath-care and education. Yet businessmen receive massive bailouts and bonuses. Curiously, as the profits of these scoundrels reach all-time highs, overall student scores plummet. Thus, not surprisingly, far too many undergraduates cannot locate Afghanistan on a map, expand upon world history, science, music or art, beyond that of the pop and reality-TV-cultures. However, in truth, these conditions are the result of a calculated scheme, a highly successful stratagem, a circumstance, which rather sadly, proves that ignorance is profitable.

THE VILLAIN
Step one in the immoral process, dumb-down the populace. Bombard the masses with pseudo-news programmes, mindless trivia and celebrity gossip. Step two, provide that great flock with endless options of cheap, fast, processed food. That's right, malnourish mind and body, and supreme power is yours, at least that's the view of Sherlock Holmes' latest villain. But is it too late? Can the horror be stopped? Is the Red State plague (RSP) the great pestilence that will finally erode the American fabric? Or can Holmes, with his stunning powers of deduction, find the culprit, a ruthless culture-thief, and rescue the US?
