Now then, ladies and gentlemen, would you say that George W. Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard (Australia) are naturally endowed with "magnetic and attractive personalities", to  the point where they can easily exploit the, "latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason"? Of course not, for all three men are repulsive and unattractive, and about as close as it is possible to get to borderline mental retardation.

You can actually break the cycle and return to your own thoughts and reason, by the simple expedient of destroying your television set, VCR and DVD, but I'm betting you won't be prepared to make that sacrifice in order to save your children. Unsurprisingly perhaps, Hollywood is betting you won't do so either.

I'm not sure if this goes with this topic or not, except that what we see can hurt us.
