The Dumbing of the Nation

Here's some food for thought:

30 years ago this country elected a President who had been a NUCLEAR ENGINEER in the military. His name was Jimmy Carter.

30 years later we have a President who was appointed by the US Supreme Court (but not actually elected for the job in any way) who CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE THE WORD NUCLEAR!

If this thought doesn't make you EXTREMELY uneasy then there is a pretty good chance that you have fallen victim to the DUMBING OF THIS NATION. Heck - you might even be partially responsible for this disturbing trend towards idiocy and mediocrity. It's ok - the good ole US Government has been conditioning us for this for many a year so it's not really our faults. We shop at Walmart (mostly because we can't afford to shop anywhere else anymore), we eat "Fast Food" by the tons (and are well on our way to weighing tons in the process), we mindlessly (and in some cases joyfully) rape and destroy the very environment that allows us to exist, and so on and so on...

In the words of the immortal Frank Zappa - "People, we is dumb ALL OVER! (and maybe even a little ugly on the side)"

And as Timothy Leary was so famous for saying - "QUESTION AUTHORITY!! THINK FOR YOURSELVES!"

In the end you (and your obnoxious offspring) will be glad you did...
