Intellectual laziness isn't just an American problem...wholescale slaughter seems to be, though (at least in the "developed world".) In such a context, intellectual laziness & pitiful intellectual sloth are problems of a different magnitude.
EDIT: Some will cite the terrorist killings in Europe to refute my argument. At least terrorists adhere to an ideology (which is not to minimize the human carnage left in ISIS's wake). Here in the States, however, slaughter is just violence for the sake of violence...suggesting otherwise is pitiful intellectual sloth.
