I don't think their dumb just quite deliberately uneducated to the facts of the world and basically brainwashed. What strikes me is so our most politicians.

To anyone unable of critical thinking or in other words incapable of assessing how one action will affect another action and weather the consequences of an action that sounds good would out weigh the potential problems of such an action.

I've just left a new thread about how the monetary system works and it's only recently i've started to understand whats going on. We are quite deliberately
educated in a manor that dose not let us understand how the monetary system works, we are quite deliberately not properly tought how the British parliamentary system works and how it should be respondent to the people
and how if the people make it work it will work.

I keep hearing how education standards are slipping, in the paper today there
was talk of how children should not be given time limits to sit exams etc..
This maybe stupidity on a few peoples part but why are people this stupid being put into positions of such importance.

So no i don't think we're dumb just misinformed and as a rule how can you
come to a valid answer to a problem if you are not given the facts. It's
like asking some one whats half of 4 without them knowing what 2 is.
