			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look at the comments I have to put up with from some of the young women that I work with at the pharmacy.</p>
<p>*&#8221;Led Zeppelin, Who are they?&#8221;*</p>
<p>*&#8221;Who&#8217;s Captain Kirk?&#8221;*</p>
<p>*&#8221;What&#8217;s a TARDIS?&#8221;*</p>
<p>*Blank Look*, when I said &#8220;Hope I die before I get old&#8221;</p>
<p>As unfortunate as all of the above are, a sign of what I call *Cultural Illiteracy*, they are nothing compared to this:</p>
<p>*&#8221;Julius Caesar, isn&#8217;t he an actor?&#8221;*</p>
<p>AARGH! Western Culture is (by definition) that which traces its routes to Rome. Given that Julius is (as I heard him described recently) &#8220;the most famous Roman&#8221;, what hope do we have when these (near to) 20 year olds, recently finished school, **haven&#8217;t even heard of him!!**</p>
