I_Am,
I read your post last night before going to bed and I have not been able to get it out of my mind. I personally am offended and somewhat angered by what you have said not only for me but my fellow countrymen.
Not to mention I find it ironic that an individual from Sweden is condemning “most” of an entire nation. Also you speak of how “dumbed down” we have become and you misspell the word “raised” not to mention use poor grammar.
You speak of ignorance breeding fascism. I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern part of the US and we have always been branded is an ignorant people. The wisdom of the people in this area is profound but we are “ignorant” because we do not conform to what the “normal” definition of society deems progressive.
Most of all the point that truly disturbs me is you are a “Project Avalon Researcher”? I am becoming more and more troubled by what I am seeing here on this forum. If someone as you that holds a very important position on this forum and are responsible for bring forth important research material and this is what you come up with then I am greatly troubled.
There seems to be this overall general opinion on the forum that we are somehow better, enlightened, and more intelligent and wise than the rest of the population of the world. Well you know what . . . . ignorance breeds fascism.

Americans (most westerners) as a whole people has been dumbed down and raized in a growing state of ignorance and disrespect - this does NOT only counts for blacks in Harlem. Ignorance is the best soil for fascism.
