The US Government and Corporate Media are the Biggest Purveyors of Woo on the Planet


We're the greatest country

We have the best health care

We have the best education

We were helping Iraqis

Terrorists hate us cause we're free.

our steel structures collapse under fire

Air force could not stop the planes on 9/11 because our radar was looking outward

GM foods are safe (even though everyone else in the world rejects them)

we spend more money on the military than the rest of the world combined because we help people

(meanwhile polls show the rest of the world finds the US the greatest threat to humanity)
