Have Americans been dumbed down past the point of no return?

'Snookie' and her pals on the wildly popular TV show Jersey Shore: Quite possibly a major component to the dumbing down of Amerika.

Although just about any American you ask can name who Hollywood Celebs, like Brad Pitt, are married to and which TV show Snooky is on, they don't know much else about their country or the history of their country because they have been intentional dumbed-down.

When does too much fluoride in the tap water become too much?

The following video demonstrates just how dumb most Americans truly are.

To witness these brainless young Americans is truly depressing. Now I know what the strange 'sky sounds' are that have been heard around the world; it is the collective American intellectual vacuum sucking wind.

Now you know why I keep saying public education is destroying America. It's run by business, why would you think these kids would know anything. They have been served up to be imbeciles so that they can be easily controlled, not have any critical reasoning skills, and so poorly inspired that they are now complete idiots. Hurray! Success for corporate america, and globalism.

Oh well, nothing like being down and out to motivate. See what comes along shortly and how valuable those answers are about movie stars. Idiots, just complete and total idiots, a national disgrace. Bet they kick soccer balls real good too.

How does anyone raise kids so ignorant? While a scathing indictment against their public education (assumed but by no means guaranteed) this is a a crime perpetrated against them by their parents, not their teachers, whose primary role is to instruct them on how to further instruct themselves, not how to regurgitate factoids.

At the same time the answers to these questions have no bearing on their lives. Per Brad Pitt in 'Fight Club' regarding the definition of a duvet. They have become divorced from the BS history lesson of our past and the BS fabrication that is their present...and they know it. Should they wake up and be inclined to fight for themselves in the social arena, it won't be for a BS history lesson about tired old slaveholders and the justifications they made for themselves. It will be (hopefully) for justifications that make sense in the present, relevant to the mess they've inherited from the subjects of these same BS history lessons.
