Fear Mongering in Politics
While I do not intend for this site to address politics, i was suddenly struck by an epiphany last night while flipping through channels on television.
The Music Man, one of the best musicals ever made, was on and I happened to hit it at just the time when Prof. Harold Hill was talking about having to create a "trouble in River City" in order to talk to the townspeople into spending money on a boy's band, which he happened to be selling.
It suddenly occurred to me that this is basically the game plan for the Republicans in politics. Are we this gullible? I guess it goes back to the dumbing down I talked about in an earlier post.
Enjoy the clip.
