New Esquire - Idiot America
The new Esquire magazine has a great article
entitled "Idiot America." I really give a sharp
slap to Bush and his blind zombie strike force.

a taste...

1. Not much of a taste......
any chance of giving us a synopsis? I wholeheartedly agree with the title though, we are a nation of idiots.

2. more tasty
it details the Rights strategic assault on scientific expertise and the swapping of the "life of the mind" for the "life of the gut."

4. The #1 way we're propagandized: to be stupider
I realized this recently. It's almost as if business and political interests got together after WW2 and decided that in their construction of the world's newest empire, they would need a way to dominate the people... but how? Then someone realized that the people could be systematically "intellectually disarmed". I doubt that any sort of meeting took place, but that's how things have been going. So don't be afraid to be intelligent, everyone! But also, realize that those ignorant people around you have been taken in by this spiritually corrupting system.. treat them intelligently, as well. Nurture their intellects, as the powers that be are afraid to do.
