I’ve mentioned and/or linked to Mark Morford’s articles here before. Today’s article, American kids, dumber than dirt / Warning: The next generation might just be the biggest pile of idiots in U.S. history, is a necessary, albeit terrifying read.
Further compelling evidence that the U.S. are absolutely doomed.
As for the rest, well, the dystopian evidence seems overwhelming indeed, to the point where it might be no stretch at all to say the biggest threat facing America is perhaps not global warming, not perpetual warmongering, not garbage food or low-level radiation or way too much Lindsay Lohan, but a populace far too ignorant to know how to properly manage any of it, much less change it all for the better.
What, too fatalistic? Don’t worry. Soon enough, no one will know what the word even means.
The only question is how disastrous the direct or indirect consequences will be for the rest of the world.
