Stoopid

I've seen some discussion on the web about what constitutes stupid and how we're such an ignorant people; Sadaam had WMD, Obama's a Muslim, etc.. I've seen arguments about what someone said or didn't say, all the while the exact quote is available for everyone to see; lots and lots of cable TV hours burned up here. As long as mass media is controlled by corporations whose first priority is profit and not the citizenry's best interest there will be stupid. Unfortunately mass media is easy and good citizenship, well it takes work. Why bother if our media keeps reminding us we can't do anything about it anyway. Moron America, looks like we're stuck with it.

Oh, and did you hear about the wingnuts and whackjobs who are dissing Disney's newest animation, WALL-E? Seems that there's too many attacks on laziness and stupidity. No pun intended, but what planet are these people on?
