9-11 for all the havoc is wrecked for alot of people, did not really affect my life much.
As long as people are comfortable, they won't care. When it started to affect them alot, then they will care.
That goes with almost anything in life not just foreign policy.
I take an interest in all of this, thats why I care. I assume the same for you.
I dont feel someone is ignorant for not wanting to know, just ignorant when they do care, form an opinion without doing their own research.
But thats were the media comes in. Sure they use tactics. The State is always going to be pro-State. NO matter what type of State you live in.
That doesn't anger me as long as the people have some say in its leadership.
Corruption exists everywhere and it will always exist in Government and the State.
I think people should be exposed if they are wrong. Expose the U.S. for its wrongdoings, just do not expect the U.S. to be gung ho in doing it.
My Lai Massacre in Nam is an example of this.
The US military initially covered it up and the Senate was ordered to investigate the incident.
But only after one of hte soldiers story's had been published by a journalist in the St. Louis Post-Gazette.
Thats how its got to work....from the bottom up. I understand what your saying, but again people aren't going to jump on everything.
It has to have value to them.
I'm not going to learn to understand the mechanics of certain machines or mathematical problems because frankly I dont care, and it will probably never affect me.
