in a very simplified little nutshell: fear, ignorance, and religion has allowed this to happen. The only hope that the world may have is to try to educate and influence us silly, arrogant americans... in a positive way i mean... cuz what happens when someone strikes out in retaliation or pure emotion? The ignorant and simpleminded will strike back out of pure defensiveness. No thought, just emotion. The US = a great big Ogre like savant- sure we are good at technology ,entrepreneurship, McDonalds, pop-art, building weapons, and mindless-evangelical teachings, but not too much else I don't think- especially regarding teaching our masses to be philosophical, independent thinkers. Maybe this is wrong, and this maybe harsh, but I think that it is most likely true.
Jeeze, this world needs balance :roll:
