You see it in the anti-science attitude which has become much worse of late. While there are still many innovators here the overall attitudes towards science, math, and education in general are frightening. Look at our own state and the continuing budget cuts to the university - and that republicans are now of the view that college is harmful ( I have seems polls about this ).
Scientific progress and innovation is hard, but so many people have a TV show view of the world where things just magically happen. Sigh.

TV is the chief contributor to the dumbing down of America.
Girl we do not have a government we have a clusterfuck.

True, so very sadly true.
Most of the people here in research and development are not native born they are from all over the world. We have let ourselves be dumbed down to the point that it's ok to be dumb. We need to teach our children to question everything and search for answers not just see something in a book and believe it. But now we have a government that's against science that puts us farther back.

Too many Americans have been shortchanged in their education and they have convinced themselves that its OK, they're just as smart as those edumacated people.
