No doubt.
The worlds greatest power as a nation is full of people who are living life without a full deck, a few fries short of a full meal deal. These are the voters who bring so much power to one man, their elected president, and it is by their astute choices in the voting booth that will either destroy the world we know or reverse our direction. They have chosen Bush family memebers three times....

To now have a good grasp of genetics is one thing, but to not even understand what evolution is, how it works, and then declare it to be bogus is outrageous. A theme of "beliefs based on erroneous logic and facts" runs through the American experience.

This kind of suseptability to fantasy has allowed their criminal leaders to continue their plundering. The American people, from which that incredible and terrifying power comes from, are being controlled by fantasy, fear, and manipulation. The public support for going to war was based on lies about WMD - this is just one example of the way the American people are being controlled. They believe what they are told. Allways have. Well, most of them, and a majority is all that matters there in the land of false democracy.

And it all starts with religion, and the lack of progress in understanding our world in real ways is keeping Americans 'dumbed down' enough that this charade can continue.
