No, Randy, you definitely should be concerned considering the following facts:
1. 61% of Americans polled refute The Big Bang Theory
2. 52% oppose evolution from earlier species of animals
3. 70% felt government funding for science was adequate or too generous
4. 1 In 4 believe that the sun orbits the earth
5. 12 states And Washington D.C. allow publicly funded schools to teach the Creationist Theory as part of their curriculum
6. Only 25% of men and 20% of women could name one of their 2 US Senators (the percentage was worse for Millennials)
And don't put your hopes into Millennials - if they are not stoned and cannot watch it on their cell phones, it isn't going to happen. Dumbing down Americans have been systematically occurring through our politicians, entertainment media, schools, news outlets (especially Internet news), religious leaders, and marketing by large corporations. Trust me, trying to get people to be free, critical thinkers is like bailing out the Titanic with a thimble. I'm finished so please excuse me - I'm going to get stoned and stare mindlessly at my cell phone for hours on end and wonder why I can't get a job or move out of my parent's house.

Paul, what you say is sad but true
