Reply #42: I Don't think it's about stupidity

At least not the 'natural' variety. I remember something that Lewis Black said on the Daily Show, "The American people want to lose weight eating ice cream.". I think 'spoiled and lazy' would explain the phenomena that other posters are expressing their frustrations about the electorate. A phenomena that the corporate meme factories, that pass for media in this country, are more than willing to exploit.

As for claims of people here being in the top percent of intelligence, I don't feel that's what it's about either. People on all levels of the curve, either by innate will or other factors, have a resistance to the obvious contradiction of 'losing wieght by eating ice cream'.


Just some thoughts.

BTW, the frustrations I feel from the attitudes in this country have just put me another step forward to just wanting to get the hell out and let the Devil take the hindmost.
