There are a lot of ignorant people in the world. I say ignorant instead of stupid because ingorance implies a lack of knowledge and a lack of desire to learn more. Most people seem to feel content with the misconceptions they have about other societies. This seems to be as true of Americans as it is of the Islamic world, Europe, Asia, Austrailia, Africa, even Antartica (damn close-minded penguins!). I would guess a lot of people judge other places by the movies they see. Scary thought when you consider what hollywood has been putting out. I try to keep in mind that people are basically the same no matter what language you speak or the tint of skin: we all love our children, we all like to eat, sleep, fuck, shit, imagine, work, without some asshole pointing a gun at us. I think.
