I know I joke a lot about the number of stupid people around me; but most of it is joking. There really is no way that I could really know for sure that the world is full of stupid people, or that even the majority of people in my area are stupid. Well, this video found its way into my mailbox sometime this morning. Questions like "name a country that begins with the letter U were being answered with "Utah" or "Utopia". Other questions were like "How many Eiffel Towers are in France" and were answered with "like, 10". YouTube had the video airing on their web site; unfortunately, the video has been taken down and replaced with :"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Australian Broadcasting Corporation"... So if you haven't already seen the video, then you probably won't until either the copyright infringement is taken care of or someone you know saved it... ----Update, April 16, 2007------- The video is back on the air. Not sure how or why, but here is the new link with the same video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCoVaeYHzWA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Edebatepolitics%2Ecom%2Feducation%2F18755%2Dalarming%2Ddegree%2Dignorance%2Daverage%2Damerican%2Ehtml I realize that it's probably edited; at least I hope so! And for that matter, it could be completely staged and made up, but still that would mean people have this view of Americans... Where are we going wrong here?
