Today as Kadizzle got some bike exercise he encountered a nice man who happened to be caught up in the Fox News world. In no time we were in a political discussion. The man claimed he was well informed. When asked about the time Trump Cheated College students out of 25 million dollars the man knew nothing about it.
Somehow we got on the subject of China. The man had some strange ideas about China. Kadizzle asked the man what he thought the literacy rate was for China. A disclaimer here, Kadizzle did not know himself. The discussion evolved from talking about the ranking of the United States in education. China is ranked first in the world. Mr. Trump supported said he would guess 20% of the people in China could read and write. Kadizzle thought the number would 80% or higher. Kadizzle suggested both parties find out. It turns out China has a literacy rate damn near 100%. Now keep in mind this is a classic right wing man who has engineering degrees and watches Fox News. Now ask what is wrong with our country. Ignorance, time two. People are watching Fox News and thinking they are being informed. Later in the day Kadizzle had a conversation with another well educated lady. She made the comment on the radio as she drove to California all she could get was right wing propaganda. We have a problem Houston.
People are to prone to accept what they hear from unreliable sources, and then shape the world accordingly.
