I couldn't agree more

I happened upon this article by Peter Schrag, columnist for the Sacramento Bee. I have to admit, I too am surprised by what seems to be our "national stupidity."

You can read this article in its entirety on the web at: Goodbye to 2004, another year of living stupidly.

Here is an excerpt:

Peter Schrag: Goodbye to 2004, another year of living stupidly

One of the blessings of having been around a long time is
that in any dark moment of our national life you can usually
think of another moment that, if you put your mind to it,
seemed almost as dark or maybe darker: McCarthyism, Watergate,
the disaster of Vietnam.

But never in the memory of the living generation have the errors, falsifications and unreason of policy come in such rapid and overwhelming succession that each buries its predecessor before it's even partially absorbed, much less understood.
