I think in America its 'cool to be stupid,' for one reason or another the popular media, entertainment industry, etc., really tend to make being intelligent 'uncool.' I also think that my generation and the generation before me doesn't have any huge accomplishment to cling to, like the atomic bomb and WWII in the 40s, landing on the moon in the 60s and 70s, that makes us proud of America's accomplishments. Hell, landing on the moon seems like a fairy tale in some ways to my generation. (Don't even say a damn word about the moon landings being faked, thats another *ridiculous* argument altogether.)
