Jim, you're right. They're too stupid, too ignorant(by exuberant, rabid choice) and too brainwashed to learn. Teaching them how to think is like teaching a brick wall how to think. I'm referring to evangelical Christians who gave the United States two of it's most diastrous social programs of it's entire history. These two programs have, all by themselves, caused more harm, grief, death and the most enormous amount of crime the country has ever seen, than all the alcohol and drug abuse combined in all of the United States' entire history. In 1918 the Mafia was nothing but a bunch of Italian punks going around turning over apple carts to sell insurance to protect against Italian punks going around turning over apple carts. On a good day they had 50-60 bucks in their pockets. Then along came Wayne Wheeler and Andrew Volstead. With the passage of the Voltead Act of 1919 they gave the Mafia MILLIONS of dollars(billions in todays market) and the United States it's most crime ridden period it had ever seen. And Al Capone. Until Reagan. When Reagan created the DEA he gave a bunch of Columbian families a thousand times more profit from cocaine than they had previously been making. And that gave the United States the Medellin Cartel and Pablo Escobar. And all the Mexican border gangs in and out of this country with all the crime, corruption and violence it brings. Santayana said it best: "Those who forget the past, are condemned to repeat it."
