We've discussed this, we've read about it, we've been warned; but, boy...does this hit home.

“If one can isolate the mass, allow no free thinking, no free exchange, no outside corrective, and can hypnotize the group daily with noises, with press and radio and television, with fear and pseudo-enthusiasms, any delusion can be instilled. People will begin to accept the most primitive and inappropriate acts.”

"The only way we can give man the strength to withstand mental infection is through giving him the utmost freedom in the exchange of ideas."

Lately it seems, I owe my sanity to all of you at the Gulch...Thank you
