If I Were In Your Shoes...

What is going on here? Many people are speaking out and writing books stating that we as a society are being dumbed down through toxins in the foods we eat (aspartame, msg, food colorings, etc), vaccines, fluoride in our water, compulsory education, entertainment and all the tv watching,etc. Is it true? Are we being “dumbed down”?

I found this video (one of many) on youtube that talk about the dumbing down of society especially America. Though it has some language that may be offensive to some people, I think it does a pretty good job of waking one up to find out more.

The comments out there are tough too. They say we are not being educated but “trained” to work and not to think for ourselves. No one seems to be surprised that the people nowadays know LESS than the old folks who only went to school up to eigth grade. I even found an 8th grade final exam from Salina, Kansas in 1895. I never even heard of some of the things they were asking about.

I also found the website based on the book “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America” by Charlotte Iserbyt where the entire book can be downloaded for free.
