Off The Edge of The World?

As with most things 'American' this parable of the modern world (Americanised Western style) is not entirely accurate, nor very subtle, but several essential truths inform it, as well as a few essential misapprehensions. Watch it and decide for yourselves what is true and what not, and then decide whether or not we are sailing on a ship of fools. Gruff thinks that we are but that we needn't necessarily throw all of the crew to the sharks: babies and bathwater come to mind.
