Less than 10% of our country controls over 90% of our wealth and 99% of our media,
To some extent, that must be true : isn't FOX news the most viewed TV channel in the US ?
I don't know, I can't be sure, I don't live in one of the United States. But apparently, they have a very large audience, and they feed people a lot of sh..., sorry, biased information. We have daily excerpts from this "news channel" on humour programmes, no need to explain anything, people burst out laughing at their "analysis" or "comments"
But it's sad : most of the "American" people I know are not that stupid.
And I hope that at least
some of these "tobacco-spitting, gun-toting, bible-thumping, rednecks" aren't fooled either.
Redneck : OK, I first got my pocket money at 14, working in the fields, and I have a fair complexion so I know what a redneck is - ouch
Tobacco-spitting : OK, as long as you can reach the spitoon.
Gun-toting : why ? in 65 years, I never ever had the necessity of carrying a gun, not even a knife or a stick. You must live in a very strange country
Bible-thumping : the bible is one of the books I read. Very interesting to see how people barely out from the stone age invented god and set laws not to kill and eat each other. Surprising how some still believe in such child stories. Some even think that an archangel brought a prophet gold tables, etc. And they are hundreds of thousands
Sometimes, it's hard to believe in mankind's progress : had I rather tell my children to be cynical crooks ?
