Could it be that the more we treat people like children, the more irresponsible we become as a nation? Could a little more Jackass be the cure for America's problems?

This is the thing, isn't it. If you suggest expanding freedom in any direction - legalising drugs/guns (prob. best not at the same time...lol), homeschooling, reducing taxes to about zero - you usually find people will object because "the public are too dumb to govern themselves". Maybe self government is not part of the problem, but the cure for that problem.
