Dooley, loved your post#12. You do realise that this is part of the plan ie the dumbing down of society.

Dumbing down is whatever makes people less able to think, speak and act in their long-term interests.

Have a look at some of the posters on here for instance. I'm sure if their beloved leader gathered them up and told them it was for their own good, they would only be too happy to please by taking of  the cool -aid.

For those who think they might be getting dumbed down, here are some links to information that may help.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Social and literary critics have identified our age as post-industrial, postmodern, and post-literate (among many other labels). But we are actually undergoing a metamorphosis much more sweeping and all-inclusive than these terms imply; ours is a post-intellectual era. We are experiencing a cultural transformation that is reversing four hundred years of intellectual evolution. Post-Intellectualism and the Decline of Democracy: The Failure of Reason and Responsibility in the Twentieth Century. Donald N. Wood.

Summary: Private Joe Bowers (Wilson), the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program, set 545 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.
