    hahahahahahahahah... you said Nurse Ratched (sic) because that's the evil nurse on the Cuckoo's Nest movie. I see what you did there! Making a link in a way. Well done Tom!

    Mr. Moore has called Americans the “stupidest people on the planet.” Granted, that may not be immoral but it is irrational.:)

    Now, do us a favor and put his quote into the proper context.

    "(Americans) are possibly the dumbest people on the planet ... in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pr*cks. We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don?t know about anything that?s happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.?

    "DO YOU FEEL like you live in a nation of idiots? I used to console myself about the state of stupidity in this country by repeating this to myself: Even if there are two hundred million stone-cold idiots in this country, that leaves at least eighty million who will get what I'm saying... " -- P. 85 of "Stupid White Men"

    "(T)he dumbest Brit here is smarter than the smartest American". -- Michael Moore At London?s Roundhouse Theater

    From the original article:

    Quote:

    Take his description of his fellow countrymen and their blind pursuit of the American Dream: "They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet... in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug pricks.

    "We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing. National Geographic produced a survey which showed that 60 per cent of 18-25 year olds don't know where Great Britain is on a map. And 92 per cent of us don't own a passport."

    And who can help this country get back into the light of knowledge and intelligence? Obama can and will!

    Not only is America ready for a smart, savvy, and even wise black man as president. It NEEDS one to unite where we've been divided and to tighten up the loose ends.

    Before we all get herded together into one big happy tent, I would like to ask: What is the purpose of this exercise? Why should we come together? There has been a lot of loose talk lately about “overcoming divisiveness” and “coming together” and “bridging gaps”. The people who talk this way need to explain what they mean, if indeed they really know what they mean. Because that does not sound like Democracy but rather fascism.

    How about coming together as in "melting pot" where people of different backgrounds and cultures work together for a greater good? We do that in Libraryland by helping our communities come together in and through reading discussion groups, children's story hour, book and DVD selections, adult and children's programs, book displays, and literacy programs.

    Want more examples?

    That's peachy-keen and if that is what Obama is talking about fine. But what about Iraq, Iran, immigration, foreign policy, abortion, and health care?
