Unfortunately facts and logic don't seem to work in this country. Look at the idiot politicians people elect.
It must be the preservatives and artificial coloring.
I realize your post could be at least partially humor, but there IS a systematic effort to dumb down the population and plenty of ways it is done(and the effects are clearly measured with many countries ahead of us, including many of the poorest!!![from whom we recruit workers!]).
MSG(also under 40+ hidden names) is an excitotoxin that literally excites brains cells to burn themselves out. That's one dietary example of many, and wont get into the dept of education and media. But I'm grateful for your post, because if we want to focus our energy on "systematic" things, which actually can be measured and proven, it's shameful we're(as a society) persuaded against doing so.
Oh, that and
lack of any real choice(other than
how the Constitution is violated, instead of whether the candidate will honor their oath not to, or not) beyond the primaries, in most elections of importance. Folks arent aware the choice comes before the general election. The oligarchy media sure as heck isn't about to educate them on that, and will purposefully do the opposite. Witness the history of Ron Paul's media blackout even after he realized the deck was stacked against third parties. As a trivia note, RP did get the 2nd most delegates in the gop last time, even after going mysteriously silent for some big states at the very end, as his supporters attempted the now bandied term of "brokered convention". I wont get into the details of primary cheating that
Ben Swann broadcasted, but that's a name folks might be wise to check on youtube...as he has a sad monopoly on MSM truth telling.
But in other news, yeah the national media's portrayal of certain coaches can be unfair too.
