Oh, and this is not a representation of the population. The absolute stupidity of this nation, that will dumbfound and confuse future civilizations until the end of time, was demonstrated by the popular election in 2000 of a man that recently said this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')I've reminded the prime minister—the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship."


Oh, and we proved our stupidity beyond a shadow of a doubt when we elected him again, four years later.

People elected Bush because he's like them. People like Lohan because of a nice rack and thus Bush is a much better example of the education system in the US and the effects upon the population.

If I got bent out of shape every time a celeberity made themselves look stupid, I'd have had an aneurysm years ago. Besides, I think it's a pretty safe bet she's not popular because of her spelling skills (or lack thereof).

maybe a sound education and an inquisitive intellect is something for losers like us.

Why learn for years and years to be able to read the great writers that our civilisation brought forth, when you just have to show your hooters and the fame is yours?

btw, this woman may have some post-po-relevant talents that we guys just lack.

Yes, we really are surrounded by morons:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')Why she keeps ranking top... is beyond me," said Cathi Early of Yahoo.

"Morons" is the correct term. This is the proper usage of the word.

If education is the answer please explain why I am still surrounded by morons!!!! 8)

decades of forced education yet...........
Most of us are ignorant of the truth yet we sit there arms crossed feeling confident that we know what...... enough?

I will continue my education right here and on my own basically until TPTB decide to pass a law making certain knowledge illegal.

Todays fodder - a pack of lies mixed in with a smidgeon of truth and pretty much all of us will perpetuate the lies without much thought.

Is this where I am suppose to drop a few links "proving" that I am right and everyone else is wrong and then walk out of the thread with my head high and my chest all puffed out?

The sophisticated nature of modern visual media allow not only the propagation of lies but also allows the development of complete cultures which can be seeded and propagated among the viewing masses. This is accomplished by simple messages with brilliant and titillating visuals which are endlessly repeated. And it takes a real devotion to learning and critical thinking to remain above the this saturated visual environment.

Think of a super-charged and greatly broadened version of the tobacco industry's commercial invasion of a wide range of sporting events (nascar and joe camel) and the attachment of macho and adventurous qualities to their product.

Before the advent of the present rightwing propaganda machine with it's many tentacles, it was mainly used in the US to massage the emotions and inclinations of the shopping mall crowd- keeping the consumer herd in prime spending mood.
