I read the article the op mentions TomDispatch...quite an eye opener.
My mother was never into reading or knowing the actual events happening. She shopped and read the gossip columns. I grew up in the USA and left when I was 20. My mother did not know what the Missile crisis was. Our neighbor came over hysterical...My mom didn't know a thing She never liked me reading so much. She even told me I was weird because I would go to my room and read.
Much of America is like my mom was , very unaware. or like my redneck brother is....just watches fox new, is patriotic because he does not know a thing about any other country. and he hates Obama.
