one area the the dullest tool in the tool shed in other areas.

Many Americans have had it so good for so long, it's not ingrained in our society to question these things, so many, I think, plod along not digging into much, and DU is by far the exception.

Even when I bring up the fact that about half of America lives in poverty and/or damn close too it, I always get stupid looks. Hence, the republican propaganda works sooo well in the US. Most Americans IMO can't see past their nose.

PS: If countries can be classified as ill, America IMO is a winner anymore. This is not a healthy country.
