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.
