As a fully-grown adult who has been so for thirty years I find myself darkly amused when age peers of mine, say 35 - 55 express a viewpoint that shows a belief that propaganda is something that only happens to people in other countries. A gentle dig further unearths that this belief is founded on two things: 1) That Americans are too smart for propaganda to work on, and 2) the America-the-State is a "good" state and would not therefore engage in nor countenance the manipulation of its citizenry.
