america is failing

i link for you an article summarizing why al gore thinks america is going to hell (my description, not his).

fortunately, some people are checking facts for you. if only americans cared. we'd rather vote for american idol than for our political leaders, even though idol just prances around and those leaders get us killed.

i'm not going to chase that train, because i can't persuade the ignorant people to stop helping the kakistocracy perpetuate incompetence in government by not voting.
