Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish."
They moved away from the seven liberal arts. Critical thinking is gone in this generation. They only want the answers spoon-fed to them. The proles want the answers, and big brother has them. How convienient.
