This doesn't speak well about most Americans, does it?
Apparently, most Americans are a bunch of illiterate fools (literacy is the ability & the inclination to distinguish sense from nonsense, fact from opinion, impartial analysis from sales pitch).
So why WOULDN'T your typical bunco artist politicians & other confidence men take advantage of 270 million illiterate fools, whose "minds" can be swayed as easily as tree limbs in a hurricane?
