The right to know! (№ 430525)

Western consciousness. You can call it whatever you like. I call this ignorance. This is the consciousness of people who believe in themselves, in their exclusiveness, and at the same time have very little idea of what is happening in the rest of the world. This is a feature of the United States, in many respects now of the Western consciousness, which the Americans are adjusting to their mental stereotype. This is what we are dealing with. We are really dealing with a quasi-religious consciousness, where there is no room for doubt, where there is no room for admitting our own ignorance, and where there is no positive place for our country.
