Your presentation is interesting, but I believe your conclusion is based
upon a majority sharing your beliefs. You are in good company. The
architect of our country, Thomas Jefferson, based his plans on an informed
and educated citizenry. What we have, however, is a poorly-educated,
easily-swayed populace that considers TV Guide a magazine, makes Married
With Children a hit, and only voted Ronald Raygun / George Bush out of
office only because they saw all their jobs dissapearing (and not even then
understanding it's because of unrestrained spending).

If you want to spew nonsense, please do so on one of the politics
newsgroups. This is for cryptography discussion.

Who suspects that not one in five of the so-called "intellectuals" in
this country (who are all contemptuous of their own culture) even
knows what the cause of inflation is, and that not one in twenty
understands why increasing tax rates can lower tax revenues.
