Quote for the Day:

Start with silly scares, the kind that would be laughable were they not advanced with utter seriousness by influential organizations, politicians, and news media. Promoted by the same means as other fears – and often to the same ends – they afford a comfortable entry point into the fear mongers' bag of tricks. It becomes easier to recognize how we are bamboozled about serious concerns, having seen the same techniques at work in the promotion of frivolous dangers.

1. Best quote yet

I need to check if that's an audio book so I can "read" it.

Thanks!

2. It's an interesting book

If you find an audio version and "read" it, let me know. I need to reread the whole thing myself.

Wendy Kaminer's "Sleeping with Extraterrestrials" is good, too.

I think it's always been easier to control people through their/our fears than through desires. Threats are far more effective than bribes.
