I completely agree with your article. For the past 100 plus years America has slowly but purposely been dumbed down. i see the progression since the turn of the 20th century. Folks think that this is a news flash. It is not. But yes something needs to be done about it. Agreed. It is like the frog in the pot of water at first it is comfortable when the frog jumps in and the frog relaxes. But slowly it gets warmer and warmer until the from starts to cook and the water has relaxed the musels too much for him to do anything. Then it is too late. So too may be America and the world for that matter. Folks are apathetic and dumbed down by all the things you said and more. Consider the fluoride in the water to IE the movie "Dr. StrangeLove". Hitler knew about this years ago. They are hitting us at all angles food, water, air, conditioning our youth to accept this as normal as they get the mind control in their prison (Schools). What can we do????? If just 2 percent of folks rose up from their apathetic state and raised hell and said we are not going to take this crap....we may succeed. Is there 2 3 0r 4 percent of America that will even do that? Just wait until the sink the dollar, bring in the new world currency and chip us. A Wisconsin business is already doing it. Trump is in favor of chipping. And we need to bring back standards, morals and truth to America. We need a revival of what made America work. We need folks to give a shit! Anyone out there willing to help wake up this Sleeping Giant called the USA? I will resteeem Thanks. - Troy
