Subject: RE: BS: Americans are truly stupid
Well, let's see.   In the sweepstakes of absurdly meaningless and questionable assertions, let's try this.

In the US we now have turned our backs on 200-plus years of racism to enough of an extent that we have elected a black man to the highest office--and he is trying--against powerful forces-- to better the condition of most citizens, including those whose interests have not been taken into account for quite a while.

In the UK the brilliant voters there have elected a coalition including a party which, unsurprisingly, now promises to cut about 25% across the board in the budget, and tells UK citizens that the "Big Society" can step in--i.e. you have to do progressively more for yourself that the government used to do for you--like it or not.

So I wonder where the larger number of stupid people are. Seems fairly obvious--and it's not the US.
