103. In order, yes...

likely, no. Americans have bought into this mythical history...we're taught it from birth almost, certainly from kindergarten. What percentage of the population, do you think, has ever read Howard Zinn?

Earlier this week there was a thread discussing Iraq and the lying that led up to the invasion. There are people on DU who proudly claim they knew it was a lie and participated in demonstrations against it. How many demonstrations and for how long? When I said the Iraq protests didn't last long enough, someone replied that the election of 2004 closed the chapter and no one wanted a repeat of 1972. The first anti-war demonstration during the Vietnam era took place in Oct. 1962. 4 Protestors were killed in May of 1970 and still 300,000 protestors showed up in DC in 1971. There were 2 elections between 1962 and 1971...the protests kept growing.

A few weeks ago there were people on DU claiming that Oliver Stone's documentary "The Untold History of the United States" is conspiracy theory! When the supposedly best, brightest and most informed can't differentiate between CT and historical fact you have to accept that the right wing propaganda has been too thoroughly absorbed, by too many people, for there to be any real hope for change.
