A few years back I came to the conclusion that most of America is just plain DUMB. 90 percent of America could tell you all the American Idol winners names, but if asked about the last five presidents, most would have no clue.

Why do most inventions come from the USA? no not diversity as we are told...it is freedom. The USA will always have a group of people moving society forward with innovation and invention.

America seems to inch ever closer to a more socialist mentality in its unproductive class and in its government lefties. ... Our govt usurps from the producers in this country and rewards laziness in the form of this program and that program.

[/ QUOTE ]Your report on the symptoms of the disease I find to be in the right direction, as far as I'm concerned - but I have some problems with your diagnosis. Demonstrably, the United States is the richest country in the world, has a population that is educated at a lower level than a lot of western democracies', and its capitalist economy is by any standard more liberal and unrestrained than almost all others.

So how can there be so many Americans who are American-Idol-dumb and at the same time this be the fault of "creeping socialism", when, at least comparatively speaking, the U.S. is the very opposite of socialism ?
