I'll tell you what's fuckin' scary - the USA is a global superpower whose government strongly affects the world and especially Europe and especially the UK which is pretty much the 51st state in almost every way - and every one of the American nitwits who dont have a basic grasp of the last few hundred years of science each have a say in who runs the USA and thence the western world, especially the UK.
Over the last century this hasnt been such a great problem since greater minds have dominated the US political scene, proferring from their midst candidates for government who aint nitwits, whether we like their ideas or not. But now we have a Republican party that seems to have somehow been taken over by nitwits - we saw what happened with Bush Jr in charge, and its only a matter of time before it happens again, to who knows what extreme as the nitwit ratio builds?
And perhaps most importantly, most of the really ignorant ones want to educate every child in America down to their level of ignorance. That's the really scary part, in my opinion.
