Not personal, but if you want to get the attention of Americans that you consider to be illiterate then you should be careful how you compose your message.

For example, <watch out for isolated red neck countries.> probably should be areas, not countries.

<not possible to exclude all the unwordly and illiterate Americans.> Unworldly, not unwordly.

<not meaningful or unthoughtful or basically unconcious?> unconscious

Several places needed a conjunctive verb; "the" should have been used often instead of the stream of consciousness jump; run-on sentences could have been broken up, and so on.

It's marginally presumptive to call people illiterate because they do not speak more than one language if you have a problem composing your thoughts in acceptably correct American English.
