Besides describing George W. Bush, these definitions sadly describe millions of Americans. As a wise person I know likes to say, "It is a sad state of affairs". Our citizens have failed to heed the wise words of our Founding Fathers:
"Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." Thomas Paine
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison
"Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army." Edward Everett
The American people's ignorance, stupidity, and disinterest in the governance of this nation have allowed an oligopoly of politicians, bankers, and powerful corporations to seize control of the country and loot its riches for their personal gain. By failing to educate themselves, millions of ignorant Americans have lost all of their power and are now dictated to by the few with knowledge. The elite who dictate the path of our country do not want the masses to become educated. Their power would be in jeopardy. The American public school system insures the retention of their power and wealth.
"Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power."
P.J. O'Rourke
