SHOCKING!: Americans are ignorant Please ponder these poll results: 33% of Americans believe that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq. 22% think that Iraq used biological, or chemical weapons during the recent Gulf War. Almost 50% of those polled prior to the recent Iraqi war, said that Iraqis were among the 9/11 hijacker. The problem here is that none of this is even remotely true. How is it that so many Americans could be walking around with so much incorrect information? What is it that allows a society to be so ignorant of reality? The article goes on to say that Americans "may avoiding having an experience of cognitive dissonance." This happens when the lies, and the facts are so out of sync that you create reality to fit the events. People do not want to believe the idea that this administration lied to get us into a war, and has lied to try and justify the original rationale. People try to support the truths they want to believe, and deny the possibility that they were wrong from the start...mj 11:58:11 AM
