Slaughter house 5 blog entry 9

"They were noticing what the Americans had not noticed-that the horses' mouths were bleeding... The Americans had treated their form of transportation as though it were no more sensitive than a six-cylinder Chevrolet." Page 196 This quote seems to touch on tue stereotype that Americans aren't conscious of their environment, and sometimes malicious towards it. The Americans are oblivious to the injury of the horse. It cM be said that Americans are oblivious to many things. One thing is our national debt. It is 15.3 trillion dollars, and drastic measures to reduce this debt bubbles are not only at the front of our political discourse, but are rather apathetically thrown aside. This fact of American unawareness has earned some aware and responsible Anericans to be unfairly labeled.
