Good point!

I also think the lack of education in the States keeps people patriotic. The citizens aren't taught logical/critical thinking skills, so they tend to go with the flow. (I'm talking about the bulk of the population, obviously there are tons and tons of intelligent, free-thinking Americans out there.)
