- gs] Under a WG, who will run the education system? The WG? If so, you should
- gs] examine what's been happening with education in the US. If anything, too
- gs] many citizens are becoming *more* susceptible to government propaganda.
- gs] Read Chmosky or Chomsky-lite (ie, Harel) to see what I mean.
-
- Let the individual countries run their own school systems (as the
- states do here.) Better yet, allow private enterprise to run
- the schools.
-
- Citizens become more susceptable to propaganda precisely because they
- lack a good education. With T.V. and commercial magazines doing
- the thinking for them, people are killing off their minds,
- strangling the very thing that could protect them from irrational
- pinheads with a presuasive voice and power on the mind. So, what
- can we do then? Keep T.V. from the people? Regulate the hours
- a station can run programming? I don't know. Any suggestions?
