I wonder why Heath thinks West Virginia was lynching people in the 80s? Did he even graduate high school?

I can answer that: Heath didn't grow up here. Like the rest of the world they get their ideas about what life is like in America from Hollywood. Which has a lot to do with why the rest of the world hates us. I hate most of the people I see in movies too.

Here's what I found from a biography site:

Ledger was born in Perth, Australia. He lived in Western Australia until he was 16, when he graduated a year early from Guildford Grammar.

That's all that's mentioned about his classroom education. If that's all there is to it then he is just another ignorant fellow getting paid a lot of money to play pretend.

The Communists use to use Hollywood movies about gangsters and other criminals as a depiction of American society. I heard the same kind of talk from people living in other countries worried about movies from America damaging their societies and culture. With some of the garbage coming out of Hollywood they may have a right to worry.

On another note I have been catching up on a lot of TV programs since returning from the Middle East where I worked fro about five years. I liked the Law and order series, especially the sex crimes unit programs. But I was appalled at the completely liberal bias in the program, then I remembered it was being filmed in New York.

Hollywood and the TV industry have really given the world a jaundiced view of Americans and America.
