Americans are big, dumb animals

No quotation marks, no links, just a statement of fact.  OK, not all of us, maybe 50+ million.  And not just the ones who disagree with us.  No screeds against the corporatists, the complete and utter failure of the 4th Estate or our usual HIGHpocrisy sightings (reference: RNC convention)... just a morning cup o' reality: Americans are big, dumb animals.  Proceed with caution.
