Still find that a generalization. Maybe I just surround myself with people who've just been here one or two generations.
Collectively, as an entire country, our historical facts stink. Why run here, though?

Maybe we are hated because by coming here, to escape all that...we harbor their enemies?

Maybe there's complacency, apathy and lack of choosing to be informed. Or too busy, by the end of day, opening a thick book isn't top of priority list?

Or....to add, the lack of knowing how to discern truth in media. Who paid for that story and who's views do we placate?

If Russian media is government run, most watching know how to find out what they need to find out. American media is big business. ..

I still have hope, too, in the youth of today. ..
