Hope springs eternal.

Every manipulative technique or religious decree was initially thought up to be used for a positive purpose.

The work of public relations pioneer Bernaise eventually found its way to the library of Goebbles.

The work of the bible is usurped by all sorts of sects, Islam included.

I watched the movie Baraka in which images of Muslim women are showing devotion to their faith by kissing and worshipping the padlock that keeps them locked out of the part of mosque where the men worship. It really summed up how self subjugation keeps people from having to think.

Whether it is the lock step of media telling people what to think about war and the corporate need for freedom, or the Babtist council decree that all women must obey their husband...it is not really telling people what to think but rather teaching people there is no need to think.

Don't you think?
