Again, I am seeing Idiocracy in action, and the thought of a continued “dumbening” is scaring the crap out of me.  In the course of 1 day, I saw:
- a piece on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, where it was revealed that 23% of British schoolchildren believe Winston Churchill was a fictional character
- a political pundit on CNN talking about how he expects the state-by-state voting to go tomorrow during Super Tuesday, and not once, but twice, he was talking about Arkansas and circled Missouri on a U.S. map
- a profile on JDate where an American-born and -raised and supposedly college-educated woman wrote:  “I am a funny, smart, creative, active and an attractive women. I love outdoor activties, hicking, bicking, etc.” (1) She’s more than one woman, and (2) does anyone know what “hicking” and “bicking” are?
