The difference between the US and other countries is not that we're stupider. It's that the slightly smarter/more powerful people are much better at manipulating the stupidity of masses, and much more greedy, than other countries. That's why we leveraged fear and pushed hard so that you have to bend over for the TSA every flight. My question is, what does the US look like without the TSA, and can we ever get there?
