"By the 12th grade you've been "educated" twice as long as your great granny and grand daddy. Except that they were educated by life, of course.
In 1910 that"Drought Scare!!!" sucker play could never have worked. People would have figured it out, or some competing newspaper would have exposed the scam. Or the voters would have demanded more water sources. At that time people didn't fall for everything they were told.
But in 2010 the Big Lie works like greased lightning, because we have become self-inflicted idiots."
