Back on the the thread… I hope that the schools these kids come from spend time with them studying the adoration of such popular politicians as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin & Chairman Mao by their respective populations – because I have never seen the same thing in the USA until lately. And I was around when JFK stole the election with the help of the Mafia in Chicago and was that period’s “The One”. Even JFK didn’t get this sort of uncritical zombie-like reception. I really hope Obama’s fans don’t turn on him the minute he starts making unpopular decisions. This kind of adoration is often followed by the same measure of rage when things don’t go so well.

And my Catholic School Classes very carefully covered Cults of Personality. Later in Public School Civics classes we also covered this along with propaganda techniques. It fit the times then, trust no one blindly. As young adults in college some of my classmates who didn’t have that lesson got to meet Rev Moon, Jim Jones and a host of others. Our young people had better get a clue…

If you can’t bring the cops to the high school, bring the high school to the cops.
