It's not a smart country. Look at the mortgage mess, credit card debts, and lack of intelligence. People would rather be told a neat story than vote for what would benefit them. People would rather know if Palin hunts moose instead of whether she could even point Iraq out on a map.

I still think the bigger issue is the sheer lack of independent thought. They let the media and parties tell them what to think. You see it here all the time when people just post talking points from the parties. Think about it. We have people here who call themselves conservatives. People who work in the porn industry who call themselves conservatives. How fucking nuts is that.
