In spite of the flaggering technological progress America has made, the overall American population is very foolish.They take what others say; Obama preaches against 'outsourcing' and they are upbeat about it...they do not really try to get deeper and understand that if US stops outsourcing, the economu will plunge into further recession & more people will lose jobs. In spite of being the land of affluents, the general public lacks brain,probably a fallout of the affluence in the society. Once in Pretoria, I have heard the local people say the same, someone expressing his surprise after coming back from US as people asking whether lions roam in the cities as well...huh!!And biggest proof being their president Bush...who goes around flaunting his power..killing people.Land of fools!!
