People differ greatly in their attitude toward this. Most Americans do not want to know about it - and do not want to know, they do not want to know about it. They are quite satisfied to live without thinking - a prospect that horrifies me.
To put this another way - most Americans are desperately trying not to think. Not an easy job, but one they have assigned to themselves with a passion.
They want to let something else run their lives, and their country. And they do not care much what that something else is. Whatever it is, it is better than them.
And that gets right down to the problem I had growing up - the deep feeling that something was wrong with me - very wrong with me. One of the worst feelings a person could have.
