Reality vs what amerikans believe.

I was going to post some about why my neighbors in Dayton Beach were so willing to hate someone they had never met and didn't know but then I can across this article today which really explains most things about amerika.  It has to do with ignorance, indoctrination and dealing with reality.

Poll after poll and survey after survey has shown that 9 out of 10 amerikans believe they are more intelligent than the average amerikan.  Now if you don't understand the absurdity of that statement, then I'm sure you fit right in with the findings in this video.  Even if you understand the statistical impossibility of the above statement, I guarantee that you fit right in with the findings on the following video. The producers of this video gives permission for anyone to use it.  This is truly revealing about what a fantasy world amerikans live in.

Remember when I was in Cuba and Mexico I related the Hispanic media's coverage of an international event involving the US that was taking place at that time.  When I arrived back in the US, I thought I had landed in an alternative universe because the fascist state media was reporting on the same event except that the fascist state version was completely opposite of what the Hispanic countries were reporting.  And because I had seen the on location videos from both perspectives, it was easy to see how the fascist state reports had been edited and modified to give a totally wrong impression.  

The Hispanic TV videos showed massive crowds estimated at one million people protesting in the streets against US actions.  There were numerous videos over a couple of days to support the strong anti-amerikan position.  However, the US media showed one or two videos of small groups of people supporting the US position and edited those videos in an effort to claim massive support among the Hispanic people.  And of course, the amerikans only saw that view and ate up so they could justify the US blowing up another country.  So it is really no surprise that amerikans have such a distorted view of reality.
