The Tree of Knowledge...

... must, from time to time, be refreshed with the blood of idiots ~ Charles Fernandez

Seriously, the framers of our Constitution were depending on the American people to be well educated, and well informed, so that we would be capable of debating the issues with well reasoned arguments...

Boy have we let them down...

How the hell can so many of us be so goddamned stupid? It's really depressing how easily so many of us are manipulated. I've believed for sometime now that Republicans consistently cut funding to education because they want us to be dumb, they want us to be uninformed, and easily lead. They want us to be incapaple of critical thinking, and free thought. It's like they're trying to re-instate a feudal society. Their children, who get sent to private schools, get every advantage, and are practically handed the reigns of power once their of age... while the serfs who go to public school recieve only education enough to follow orders.. to do what they tell us, and how we should feel about it....

If we don't do something about these jerkoffs spreading misinformation and riling up the masses, we're set to become the world's first idiocracy...

Funny as a movie, but as a reality, it's scary as hell..
