A nation of lies.

The desire for ones own safety and prosperity far outweighs the desire to quest for truth. Truth is not about truth any longer. Truth is about following the current trend. As any intellectual who has spent any significant amount time on the inside of a high school locker knows, it's better to follow the flow then to voice truth. Basic survival instinct. BooHoo for you if your brown nosing is later found to be incorrect. Until that time comes where Americans can grow some balls and stand up against an establishment perpetuated by lies, their culture will continue to be dragged through the mud by those who do the perpetuating.
