As one who has devoted the major portion of his life studying "human nature" and
"morals" and "political/social" philosophies.. I have to say this... The above
falls properly into the realm of "psycho-babble." Those who fall for it could
blame it on the mis-education system, but if they've been out of school for more
than two or three years, they should have learned better.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
