Great piece of history from your perspective. If Americans were actually taught history instead of ra, ra, propaganda, maybe Americans would keep the criminals in Washington in line.
99.9% of Americans wouldn't even know what you are talking about.
I mentioned Napoleon to a twenty-three year old young man last week and he had never heard of him.
What kind of vote can he cast? Americans are mostly uneducated because they are lazy and can survive with minimum education or ambition.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Bloody hell, we were never really taught about Napoleon but I still knew who he was and roughly what he did when I was about 10 years old (combination of lucky parentage, teenage mutant ninja turtles and Sid Meier games. hehe, consumerism put to good use).
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
