| I have just come back from the states. The amount of ignorance and fear the average American has of stepping outside their own borders is ridiculous.
I can't count how many times someone said "Aren't you scared of traveling? You know as an American, their are terrorists out there."
People are bombarded on a daily basis by the media with fear mongering. They only report stories with a negative tone because readers are buying them.
Before I left there was an article about the "Men Working" signs on the side of the road. A few feministas thought it was sexist and are out to change them to "People Working"
Sad really. If they knew what it was like to struggle to put food in their childrens mouths I bet they would have a different outlook on the state of things.
Keep 'em busy and they won't have time to question authority.
