But, in a country designed like the United States, wouldn't it be better for our denizens to have critical thinking, humor and satire? I mean, we're supposed to be a country that's full of people that say "no" to stupidity and that can laugh at -- and then work to fix our faults, through the channels that were established at out creation.

It's the democratic republic part of this country that makes it so great --- when used by critical thinkers.
