Well we were never all that innocent a people. It's not like Gilligan's Island morphed into Lord of the Flies.
But yeah, things are pretty fucked up.

I just keep expecting that people smarter than me will be the people in charge... Only to find out they're also merely humans and equally flawed as myself.
I've held this irrational belief for a very long time and it still surprises me to be reminded of it's failing.

For example, at a press conference, you could ask Tony Blair 5 complex, thorny questions and he could spend 30 minutes expounding on the ins and outs, history, and facts of each and every issue without missing a beat or nuance. But the last 3 or 4 Prime Ministers have been dummies.
I don't know how true that is, but I have been thinking about the dumbing down of America quite a bit recently.
