and seen the shocking oppression and poverty that so many experience....including throughout sub-saharan africa, where women's lives are miserable....have you witnessed the way women are treated there?

otherwise--you give way too much credit to top-down accounts and causality

referring to citizens, you say the nation has "dumbed them down," but this implies no free will

people have allowed themselves to be "dumbed down" it's their choice whether or not to turn off the boob tube....

war machine for near a century?

so fighting fascism in wwii was also in the name of greed?

otherwise, again---yes, michelle is a loose cannon...she earlier made disparaging comments about obama's household habits....maybe you call this refreshing candor? i call it dangerous naivetee
