Yet another religious cult raided

[kandrathe]

My post was taking a jab at Kandrathe, a supposed and professed Jeffersonian, for voicing the cynical opinion that the great masses of people need to be fed comforting untruths lest they become lost little lambs. Jefferson (and Mal Reynolds) would have found that revolting. That's the extent of my comment.

What this has to do with Mao and the rest, I don't really know.

I'm not advocating keeping them in the dark, but if they choose to be sheep, then they need a shepherd. I think what we see now in politics now is mostly the battle of the shepherds (or wolves I guess). Two things that we cannot force are an ignorant person to become wise, and an uneducated person to better themselves against their will.
