211. The memory, or rather lack of it, is part of our educational system

this has been done on purpose

As to your last question.

The three national strikes, attempts mind you, during the Bush years, had me, and a few more idiots.

I know.

I am willing to bet that the participants either were not born in the US, or are not fully history phobic...

So yes, you are correct, but it is more complex than just the memory. Americans don't have a memory, and that has been done on purpose. But we remember myth very well, and that is also on purpose.
