the more i learn over time the more u.s. war and the presidents involved and the economy makes so much sense. i saw this graph some time ago, that showed the u.s. deficit would always start to get out of debt, and then during nixon, reagan, bush 1, and bush 2 the graph shoots right down into owing so much deeper. all the rest of the presidents

you're not kidding

I agree with just about everything you've said here. The more and more you hear about these past government scandals, deals and coverups, the easier it is to believe that what is happening now (911/Iraq/etc) has been planned for quite some time with unprecedented precision and followthrough.

In regards to your second paragraph:
1) People don't want to face and accept the truth. What motivation would they have for accepting it? Governments and media do a fantastic job of fearmongering, making us forget that people in Iraq (or whatever other axis of evil) are people, just like me, you, or your neighbors. I think it boils down to the fact that most of the U.S. population cannot place themselves outside their own shoes. They become too lazy to think about the consequences of their actions and their decisions.

2) The U.S. is geographically isolated from the rest of the world. It makes it near impossible for us to feel the consequences of our actions (like with the depleted uranium). Sure, there will be political outcry for such things, but even that forum is limited. Unless you are motivated and want to learn about, on a day-to-day basis you'll never hear about such things.

This post makes me flustered because it brings up so many good points. I want to type too much about it.
