So that's what I've been getting at all along. I think apathy is the real problem in this country, not intelligence. As a society there is very little interest in world events. We are a pretty egocentric society. If it doesn't affect us personally, we don't seem to give too much of a shit.

There are plenty of smart people out there. In fact, some of them even post here! But they seem to be the minority that actually take the initiate to invest their personal time in learning and being informed.
