We should use our God given brains

Really? I think that America has helped to dumb down our generation! They feed us TOO much information so we don't even have to try and use our brains. Freeways for example, they say Tacoma in 10 miles, next exit Tacoma, Tacoma...RIGHT HERE with arrows! Here in Germany you get one sign 100 meters from it's turn. They say hope you know where you were going! Then today, i try and figure out if we are still allowed two checked bags so i visit delta.com. I looked on the prohibited items list to see if knitting needles were on there and the list amused me at first and then i found it disgusting that we actually need all of the information... Now i have to unpack my ice pick! NUTS!
