Idiot Nation

Reading this essay i agreed with him on some of the things he said however, i think he came across a little harsh. I liked the part about how he said Americans need to be more educated, if we are practically running the world we need to know a little bit more about what is going on around us. I liked how he said how many Americans do not even know how to read above a 4th grade level and we that do read only read about 99 hours a year vs. 1400 hours of tv. We all need to get more involved in the knowledge of our country. The best way to learn more is to ask questions, rather than just listen to what is feed to us, we need to go out and learn for ourselves question what is going on and be humble to learn. I do agree with all of these facts he says however a do not agree with how he puts it across. He is so mean he basically says that we are all idiots in this country. It comes across as Im smart your dumb blah blah blah. Rather than simply just chew everyone out fot what they are doing wrong we need to just look at ourselves and figure out what we can do better. I know personally there is a lot I need to do to get involved. Like many others i would much rather watch an entertaining show long before the president, the fact is its pretty dull. No music, no real jokes, just a long speech. Like me many others are the same we need to change ourselves to make this country better, not just complain what is being done wrong. The fact is no one is perfect no matter who is in office we need to stand behind them and if we disagree we can do whatever we need to do to make the country better and vote in 4 years for a change. It is a simple fact, we all need to better ourselves to better the nation.
