I heard about the "dumbing down of America" somewhere. Without doubt such a thing has happened. But it now looks like the people most affected are the very same government officials in the white house, congress and pentagon.

If you announce a Intellectual Property Inquisition, the only thing you will wind up is with extra hate and fear mongering. At least one will be most effectice in scaring people who are able to _CREATE_ Intellectual Property away, to e.g. Canada, New Zealand, Europe.

In our small country The Netherlands we are also harmed by a Government who seems to be dumbed down itself. One can see that by the excessive use and abuse of street bumps in local neighborhoods, which only scares people away who can afford $50,000.= cars or higher. Its all measures, regulations en law enforcements which create the opposite effects, and scare big money away.
