Well said. Thanks.
On the whole we've slowly learned from our mistakes, and the world's a
better place than it was before. But we progress with agonizing
slowness sometimes.

I disagree. While officially sanctioned brutality may not be a part of this
or that country, cultural factors undeniably breed brutality , at least in
certain sectors of it. Poverty ignorance, xenophobia and god knows what
else combine to make some countries positively burn with it. I've been in
more than a few of them.

Fox news, OTOH....


I believe the correct spelling is: Fox "news".

Actually, it's "Faux News."


Well, it is the best of what is available. Compared to CNN, CBS, ABC
and NBC, Fox is extremely accurate.

Leaving aside the utter idiocy of that opinion, the fact that you limit
the universe of sources to such a small set speaks volumes by itself.

Sad thing is how many Americans would make the same ignorant claim...

Well, exactly, but given that it's Jay I was amazed he knew as many as
that.

Actually, no.

For ten years I've been Iowan by choice.

Long enough to have gone native. And the choice itself only reinforces
the point...

And sad how many ignorant news readers would miss such an obvious
tongue-n-cheek post...
