Propaganda comes in many forms. Only the naive pick out the 'good stuff' and dont look at the whole picture, be it in the US or any other nation. Politicians, and those who speak on their behalf in every country, count on that basic human failing. I have found happiness trying to do good works in life, although I dont always succeed. I have enough trouble solving problems within my tiny sphere of influence without trying to solve or make judgements on national or international problems. That does not mean I am politically naive. I dont jump on anyone's bandwagon, and try to take the time to see the whole picture. Dad has spoken. Hopefully you will decide it is with a perspective of wisdom.
