How has being smart or educated come to such a low standing in this country? How is it 2012 and we look more like Europe circa 1145? I've said it time and time again that we're an extremely new country, one that never really had it's 'religious' dominance .. but I'd always thought in the back of my mind that we never would or could just because we're in a totally different century, with the dark ages well behind us..

but those 'dark ages' aren't behind us.. Europe, yes.. us? no.

there was light and knowledge and intelligence before the fall of Rome. After, there was the dark ages were knowledge was lost and religion and 'myth' ruled for hundreds of years... we're entering that time... Rome fell this time around with the financial collapse and the black man in office.. it's been heading there for awhile, but those 2 events led to a rise in a party (tea) that's insane in it's fundamentalism.. and we're going to pay for their stupid before long..
