Americans are dumb

I know this isn't news, but I was reading a story on the Wall Street Journal website that mentioned some statistics, notably that 1 in 10 people believe that Obama is a Muslim. That really bothered me, and I was surprised it was that high.

Well, I was going to rant on here about that, but then I kept reading. Here's a quote.

"According to Kristof, 36% of all Americans believe "that federal officials assisted in the attacks on the twin towers or knowingly let them happen so that the U.S. could go to war in the Middle East." Between 30% and 40% of Americans believe in flying saucers and in evolution. One in five thinks that "the sun orbits the Earth." ... By this standard, if 1 in 10 Americans mistakenly think Obama is a Muslim, this is a topic on which people are unusually well-informed."

I mean... well... I give up.

In other news, I finally got my computer able to edit the videos I made but now cannot seem to get the videos off my camera. Hopefully I will eventually.

Just so you know

So this is my first post in a while.

School got hectic at the end of the semester, and then I went home. Home is not the most conductive space for writing because the best place to write has no internet, and the only place I can get it is a place that is not fun to write in.

That said, Deck Of Card Stories, my 52 short stories in a year project, has been postponed. I still want to do it, but there will be a delay. Maybe I will start in March? Or Maybe February. I'll let you know.

Anyway, I hope to post more on this blog, dear readers.

Oh, in other news, I made two videos over the break, and am about to begin editing them. They will be posted soon.
