Re: are americans stupid / uninformed?

I was trying to talk about some issue that came up with Nancy Pelosi awhile back and quite a few of my coworkers were like, "Who is Nancy Pelosi?" Now these are people of the MI branch of the military, many of whom have very technical jobs. People just are uninformed. It might be an effect of how media dominates the thoughts and minds of the populous. American Idol is more important that American Politics to most people.
