On American stupidity

Quote: “Rick Shenkman, Editor-in-Chief of the History News Network, published a book entitled Just How Stupid Are We?  He demonstrates, among other things, that most Americans are: (1) ignorant about major international events, (2) know little about how their own government runs and who runs it, (3) are nonetheless willing to accept government positions and policies even though a moderate amount of critical thought suggests they are bad for the country, and (4) are readily swayed by stereotyping, simplistic solutions, irrational fears and public relations babble.”

I don’t think we are going to survive being this stupid.
