What is perhaps more spectacular with our American friends, is that they control world economy and culture while being particularly closed on themselves. That's a combination that could explain a lot of the cultural programming noted by Troutsky.

The people in BA warned her that Rio was very very dangerous. Then in Rio they warned her that BA was very very dangerous. I'm inclined to agree with the Argentines, but that story describes the world in general - fear of the unknown.

It makes us so easy to control.I have had the priveledge of travelling to many places around the planet and always I am warned of how dangerous a place is, of how life is cheaper in foreign places, why I should be afraid.It's a pathetic way to view the world but it seems to be part of our cultural programming,or socialization.
