"The mythology that is being taught in the USA that worries me the most is their political mythology. " - Little Hawk

I think I can agree with you on that, LH. Over the last few years I've read extensively on the larger American political forums, left and right, and there is an overwhelming amount of mythologising going on. I found it amazing how information was manipulated until it was impossible to tell what was actually true, what was a lie, or what was wishful thinking. Political figures on both sides are described as saints or demons, with as much religious fervour as the most passionate bible waving fundamentalist.
