What I Have Been Saying for Years

Anyone want to send me this book? I have been saying for a long time to anyone who will listen that my home country has some sort of anti-intellectual element ingrained in its makeup. Sadly, many people simply deny it outright or become belligerently patriotic and narrow minded about the mere idea instead of taking time to discuss it. I believe it exists, is getting worse, and has serious consequences.

Salaam.
