You realize, of course, that includes you? You don't lsit any qualifiers. I'm not sure what this says about your arguments...
The way I phrased this has been used for generations to make a point. Of course not all americans are stupid but many read most cannot see the forest through the trees. I would say most americans are unimformed and do have their head up their butts when it comes to this matter.
You are spliting straws BTW.
an added point: It gets scary that more people know Paris Hiltons dogs name than who is the vice pres of the US.
