Changing Intelligence of America

     I have often wondered how I would see the world today raised in this society. Why? Because I was one of those kids that grew up thinking my father complained about it too much. He would make us set down by the TV every night and watch the News. He would make sure we read papers from every placed we lived. Hell I even read the paper in Turkey when we lived there. I consider myself lucky to have had a father who really wanted his kids to get a world view and a well balanced understanding of the world in which we inhabit. Sadly the world has changed so much I do not even recognize Her anymore. She is listing in the water like a large cruise ship. And if you look close enough you can see what is happening, the level of intelligence has dropped a staggering amount to the low side. I took it upon myself to ask students simple but "In my day" questions about states and their Government. Well I got a very rude awakening, out of 100 people from ages 18-25 only 2% knew who the Vice President was. Only 5% knew the 3 branches of Government. I can go on and on with the answers to the questions asked. But the results were all the same. The numbers only went up when asked who is on any certain reality shows. 

     I think what scares me the most are the young Voters. They get bombarded every day by Idealistic Liars, failed policies, and just really shitty Government. Most if asked what is the difference between Party affiliation. And those answers will blow you away. To me they were asinine and most have no clue on what they were commenting on. I have a video of this secession but I will not show it because it is out of this world embarrassing. 

     My advice: do some research on your own, do not be lead around by the nose of Political hacks. Use common sense. And for God sake, before you open your mouth to speak your opinion on something know what the hell you are talking about. One of my biggest faults that I have, personally is that I cannot stand ignorance. (incomprehension of, unawareness of, unconsciousness of, unfamiliarity with, inexperience with, lack of knowledge about, lack of information).
