Did anyone notice the photo of B16 often displayed in the background?

I can't tell if this is a propaganda piece, what it's really about. I guess the TV people hadn't heard of the old Yale study, which means exactly what? Yale students are not your average Joes, it seems to me.

And the reality TV shows? Even participating in such an immodest venue says something about the people in the first place.

This is why God gave us a hierarchical and authoritarian Church. Most people, even very good and wise people, are content to be told what to do and be. This is natural for human beings and it is why we function best in hierarchical environments, be it at work or in the military or police or medical field. Order and authority, rightly oriented and rightly guided, is one of the most powerful forces for the benefit of human society. De-centralization only leads to disorder.
