Resist Deliberate Ignorance

I went to the fair last week and saw America. Yikes!

The most dangerous thing about the USA is the overwhelming number of folk who are proud to be ignorant.

"I don't know and I don't care!" seems to be the prevaling sentiment. That explains the ribbon magnets. They're also the ones who send their people to fight (when you can't make the rent, join the Guard!). Cannon fodder. Thinning the ranks of the breeding stock won't help. Their kin still shop at Wal-Mart.

Groundlings. Give them bread and circuses. McDonalds and television. Keep them fat and stupid. Ain't that America?

I'm happily living in the top 5%. Frightened. I'd move to France if I could.
