I went to Cheyenne Frontier Days four years ago on our way to watch some baseball in Denver. I went to the rodeo and decided a beer would be perfect. I went to the beer booth and not one single adult working there was willing to sell me a beer, after all Saskatchewan had to be a made up place and my I.d must be fake. So I went to another booth, same story. No beer for me, I was 43.
I enjoyed taking my kids road tripping down there when they were young, there are a lot of cool things to see and do. But man alive the absolute stupidity I’d run into in regards to knowledge about anything not “Mercia and military” was absolutely mind boggling, in every damn state we visited. I can totally understand why the extreme knuckleheads on the far right and far left believe everything they’re told, they’re stupid.

I have met a few Americans that were that messed up, but I met a few Canadians that were every bit as clueless. I can remember when I was in grade school in Saskatchewan, and they closed the last of the country schools, and the students came to our school. There were 16 year olds in grade 6 that were totally clueless , and knew nothing about the world. Then when I went to the oilsands to work, I met some people from certain parts of Canada, that were every bit as clueless. It's not an American or Canadian thing, if people are from certain areas, especially isolated areas, they often don't get much of an education , and they can be pretty clueless about anything that doesn't happen in their community.
