"Must you refer to the American people as sheep? Kind of works against your premise that the right of private property should be kept for all Americans." No doubt there is a large segment of unintelligent people in America. The premise is that even if millions of people ignorantly surrender any particular right, understanding that it's our collective rights that fade, and desperately deserve preserving.

Despite the shoddiness of the public school system and the vote counts the Democrats get, the number of unintelligent people in this country is far lower than the term "sheeple" implies.

Oh, I understand the premise behind the posted article. What I don't understand is the application of the word sheeple to Americans. People are smarter than those who use said word are willing to admit.
