Here is a reminder of just how dumb Americans tend to be, collectively.
A majority of Americans were opposed to "Arabic numerals" being taught in schools some years ago (not long before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic).
The polls used Arabic numbers to illustrate the point, of course.
Sigh.
This makes it a bit easier to understand why our collective national voting trends are what they presently are, wouldn't you say?
You know what? This kinds of serves as proof positive that the AI Boy in my last blog entry may have had a point when warning humans that they are a blight on the planet.
Again, sigh.
