I've figured out why Occupy rocks! Psychopaths will force one single reality on all the people.

[woo me with science]

16. Someone posted a quote here from Noam Chomsky the other day

that is relevant to what we are seeing now all over the place:

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."


Let's throw in one from Frank Zappa:

"The ILLUSION of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
— Frank Zappa
