Oh yes the dumbing down of America is most strategic. And successful.
In one of the debates [I think in Mass. for Governor] the Tea Party Candidate advocated the USA being a Christian nation...the Democratic candidate mentioned there was separation of Church and State in the Constitution; to which the Tea Party Candidate challenged him that it was not....:driver: in the Constitution [Pssst...it is!] Nearly the least well educated nation on Earth, trying to rule it....:thumpdown: I think we're all in trouble...
Amazingly, many Americans are aware and even proud of the fact they don't know history and geography, science etc.....and like candidates that are just like them, and don't either - such as W or Palin et al. Its a fast race to the bottom - of what is the only question - but I think oblivion might be the correct answer. :marchmellow:
