It's a Whiffle World

American culture as a cargo cult. I'm saddened by how true it seems.

(I don't, however, believe that every person living in America believes all of these things, nor do I "blame the media".)

Hat tip to dafydd for the link.

Not addressing anything else in the content of the link -- but why "cargo"? Before I clicked on the link I thought it might be something about materialism and all the "cargo" we haul around -- but I didn't see that there.

I'm both confused by that & curious -- why cargo?
