I cannot believe how lazy, stupid and unaware the general population of America has become. Oh wait, it' the general populations fault, no, it is the government fault, no, it's the evil greedy corporations fault. Actually, it's the idiot teachers of the country fault for producing and turning out uninformed self absorbed morons who are more interested in "Dancing with stars"and "Survivor" series than questioning authority.
