Exactly. Why do you believe your ministry of propaganda? (your educational and media system)

I was subjected to a flood of it all through public school from Grade 4 to Grade 12 in New York State. I certainly did not believe most of it. Of course, I was a Canadian in a foreign land, so I didn't just take it for granted as gospel, which is what virtually all my classmates did. We were being primed to fight a 3rd world war every day of our lives.

The USA is one of the most jingoistic countries in the world, always looking for an "enemy". It's a worrisome thing to anyone who is not an American, I can assure you. But Americans think it's normal. It is not.
