Wrong! I know how the world really works. I will be teaching my children accordingly and stressing the importance of a good education to get far in life. The key is not to follow the masses and not to let yourself be propagandized like so many people do. An independent course with a good education is the key to success.

True, only 1% of Americans have traveled much abroad. Including GW Bush himself. We are an ignorant country from that perspective. We call ourselves the "greatest country on earth" and this may be true, but it's not polite to boast, it makes one look arrogant and a bully. We are also not the best educated nation on earth, and that counts for a lot. We certainly dont have a monopoly on morality, that's for sure. Our religion and capitalism definitely have their dark dishonest sides, as we've seen many times. We are masters of marketing and advertising, but we take that too far, using it too much in politics and foreign affairs. Almost all advertising is either an exaggeration or an outright lie. That's why all the feel-good Bush-Rove-Dick Morris slogans are just so much BS. They attempt to manipulate people without substance and often cover up an opposite real agenda. Both parties do it but Bushies just more than anyone in history.
