How stupid are we if...?

So, those are the kinds of things I had in mind for this thread, surely our elected officials should provide plenty of fodder, as well as the entertainment industry, and what passes for journalism these days. I'd love to see/hear what the rest of y'all have to say.

How stupid are we? We would be very stupid. But it is no longer "we, the people". Our government has determined that "we the people" are very stupid. It will hurt when they find out that there are a sizable amount of us that aren't.

Exactly, and that's the point of this thread

Not that I follow the news or any of these issues at all myself but after reading all y'all's posts one little nugget springs to mind. ALL things in moderation. Too much or too little of anything seems to be the rub and where the issues lay. So balance between yourself and what's around you seems to be the answer. Sadly balance is the one thing that few can ever seem to get right and few still when it comes to governments or politicians/lawyers.

I like this. You're exactly right, we suffer from extremism in all its forms.
