FR is just a portrait of America. There are educated idiots, uneducated geniuses, and just plain smart people and ignorant people. There is even a sprinkling of willfully ignorant and some control freaks. There is one caveat, that being that FReepers are all above average, seriously. We are all Americans in the fourth century of this great experiment in government by the citizens, and all Americans everywhere have an opinion on how best to govern and are not loath to express it, sometimes loudly. Unfortunately the most vocal seem to have never read the founding documents. I personally like the wide-ranging discussions on the various threads. It is amazing how people can be so wrong in their beliefs at times. Oh wait, was that me? I have had to re-evaluate some positions for sure, but nevermind, I am in good company as Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD); Roman dramatist, philosopher, & politician) said: The first step towards amendment is the recognition of error.
