My slice of the 'Believing in the Intelligence Of My Fellow Americans' pie is pretty thin right now: I think most citizens (and I use that term loosely) will settle for an X-Box in their Christmas stocking from whatever administration is in the White House. I wish I wasn't so pessimistic about this, but I have a deep seated belief that any self aware nation would have fixed this problem a long time ago. We are a self indulgent nation; therefore we let it all slide so long as we metaphorically “get whatever consumer goodie is 'hot' in the electronics section of our local newspaper”.
