Where do you want to live?

According to this article on the BBC, Australia is more developed than the US.

I find that hard to believe.

What? The USA political system in corrupt? Our corporations lie? *No, really?* Holy sufferin' catfish, wait until I tell
Mr. Science!:D

If you really wanna add to knowledge about disinformation or
just read a bunch of high weirdness in general
and draw your own conclusions, I highly reccomend the following three books.

1. You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media
Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths Edited
by Russ Kick

2. Apocalypse Culture 2
Has a scary article in it by Mr. Harris about the entire
Anthrax/ Osama situation circa 1996. He claims he tried to
inform the CIA about what he found and they just shrugged.
Then again he got busted for benign anthrax possession.
Be your own judge:).

3. Cult Rapture by Adam Parfrey (more scaryfun weirdness
than conspiracy theory.) If the people in it don't squick
you on some level at some point you're either a Monarch
Slave or beyond the pale. don't say you weren't warned:D.
The Carolyn Keene scandal is a great story about those
big-eyed whatever paintings people collect.

No, it doesn't explain why our country is what it is, but
it makes damn good work in the excuse depratment.
