The majority of Americans are stupid/ignorant and too lazy to inform themselves. Really not that surprising - although it is depressing when you realize how deep/far it extends.

You can see it in this whole crusade against intellectuals/education.

Hell - you can see it everywhere. I know a phenomenally smart investor (client of ours...ex-fund manager for a HUGE mutual fund company where he was massively successful) who believes that Global Warming is BS. Guy can pick stocks like nobody's business, but he can't/won't take the time to read the available science (even the "pop science for the masses") and process it.
