I thought it interesting that Rush had never heard of the Cargo Cults until today.

It really is a crying shame that more people are not familiar with the cargo cults and the attitudes which they engender. I would have to say that the studies of cargo cults and envy complex are both very illuminating and provide the keys to truly understanding much of what is happening in our world today. These are precisely the sorts of subjects children should be compelled to study in modern "Social Studies" and civics courses.

Unfortunately, our public education system is run by the left-liberal establishment, which will never teach the true cause and effect facts of our world situation.

Look at the widespread, mass hysteria that gripped half the nation during the 2008 campaign.

If that's not the very picture of a cargo cult, I don't know what is.
