I read the text for the first minute or so. Although I agree with the premise, I think the problem is not of ignorance but one of apathy and skepticism. We aren't a culture of 'believers' - affirming what we're told as much as we are emotional reactionaries - we respond to the most basic human impulses and the information sources feed those primal emotions just as the advertisement industry has done successfully for years. It's a psychological mind ####. It's why negative campaigning is so effective. My professor in college called it passive nihilism - we choose the least of the negative rather than aspire towards the positive, surrendering to the notion that it is never attainable. Pure cynicism. Hand me another Prozac.

It is so sad but so very very very true.
