In any case, Teribus, EVERY large modern society wants its people ignorant (in a very selective sense) AND subservient. Specially the latter. Our entire upbringing, our schools, our job training, our military training, our social training...every bit of it is calculated precisely for that purpose: to make people subservient. To make them conform. To make them follow orders. And every child knows this deep in his heart and bitterly resents it.

It's not just a problem in North America, it's a problem everywhere.

Have you never looked within in your entire life? I wonder sometimes.
