I had just finished reading this article:
Are Americans dumb?
Retiring congressman Gary Ackerman thinks so — is he right?
http://www.salon.com/2012/06/22/are_americans_dumb/
But didn’t feel compelled to comment on it (I am sure my regular reader(s) know my opinion already). However, the next article I read was this (Salon has some good ones today):
Alabama defeats communism with anti-sustainability law
Thanks to the John Birch Society, “environmentalism” is no longer an issue in Alabama — by law.

The crazies are in control of the madhouse now, that is for sure. How deeply our society has devolved when nutcases (like John Birch Society appears to be) are no longer marginalized or called out by society’s leaders, but instead are considered mainstream and representative. Even scarier when I write it than when I think about it in a half formed idea. I know I say this a lot, but one of these days I might finally take action, it is time to get the hell out of this country! I just hope there is someplace else to go…
