Pride blind the foolish.

A damning quote that hit me hard and rang true...

"First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish."

The whole article, that I don't completely agree with is here. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/
