Speaking of Bush . Mergers between the largest companies and airlines. The popularity of televised gay sex . . . The one-two knockout punch to America's morals. The fact that all of humanity is evolving stupid.
Smart people tend to PLAN their children, and only have the few that they can manage.
They even use contraception. However, the stupid people pump out babies they can't support for no reason. TONS of them. Many of these idiots accidentally start families because they are too imbecilic to use protection. Therefore, in every generation, the ratio between stupid and intelligent gets worse and worse.
