For example, Putin owned the media and had an 80% approval. In the mid-east were most get their news from Al Jazeera, 92% think the US got what they disserved on 9/11. Look at the large disparity between views in various states like Massachusetts having 3.2 times as many democrats as republicans and California having 16% more dems. I'm sure people are saying that I'm one of those that are indoctrinated.

For example, I drive the greenest car in America ( automobiles.honda.com ), a natural gas powered Civic. I installed multiple high efficiency room only air conditioners in several rooms. I use a solar dryer (drying racks, B001F51A7G at Amazon). I installed a high efficiency tankless water heater. I'm not buying it that ethanol is good for the environment when it takes nearly as much fossil fuel to make it or that electric cars are good when there is at least six energy conversions between the plant and the highway and no one publishes that efficiency I saw the problems with ...
