We should all love these people
the people who decide television programming. Roger & Me is on, second time today, on HBO. Moore nailing the corporate arrogrance and worker despair long before Enron/Tyco, and the rest. I've also noticed Canadian Bacon has showed up several times. Amazing how prophetic Moore was years before our invasion of Iraq. If you haven't seen the movie, rent it. You won't believe it. I guess the neo-cons didn't realize it was satire so they used it as a blueprint for their foreign policy. Plus, Pelican Brief was on several times, coincidence (?), around the time Pat Robinson was calling for the deaths of two of the Supremes. And the Bushies were trying to ram through their RWN choices for federal judgeships. (I love the rabbit lady from Roger & Me.)

1. gaging rationality
Conservatism Scheme is one of the longstanding and most shared psychological and political tool in human societies used to gag human intelligence into a sort of Pavlov conditioning. TO RESIST the natural evolution of human kind away from Patriarchate, which invests power into the hands of the most powerful; an unquestioned and absolute Power. Those who fall victims of this gag, which are the majority of humanity, do so not because they have less intellectual potential than others in most cases, but because they have not gotten the necessary tools to form their independent critical thinking. The culprit: school, where human intelligence is supposed to develop.Media and other propaganda tools barely chew the information for the gag victims. I don't think they form public opinion as the mainstream alleges. On the other hand fierce advocates of conservatism are not intellectually framed in this system of values, they know better but they are agents having a stake in the status quo.They can resort to criminal activity if they feel really threatened . All conservative systems the world over while mixing religion with politics, have to incorporate the necessary ingredients to unsure lasting obedience and most of all keep rationality at bay: a zest of superstition, a lot of fear , fear of everything, whatever happens to be a chocking event, a lot of lip service compassion for those God has decided to hold in poverty, fear of liberals featured as the devil work . IN other Words they are all being held hostage in Pluto cavern .
People are not though ready to go hungry to heaven .

That is being said, solution to the depletion of human kind potential for survival, dignity and development:is the moral responsibility of all their enlightened fellows . They have the duty to hold the candle for them step by step, one day at the time.........Imagine 1 million free minds volunteer to communicate their rationality to 100 fellows a year, this would get 100 millions out of the cavern , X by the numbers of years .....and into the light
