T…The book was clearly written from a Marxist perspective in the way Morais and Boyer blended the economic factors of society with the plight of workers and the struggle that ensues between classes.
Takes one to know one.
Good luck.

Being a union member helps... You get a lot of the propaganda from the International Union.

But you don't have to be a communist in order to know what they are...
My post was merely salutary as informative of the mindset.
(But I'm sure you know that.)
Good luck.
Best post on this forum ever.Political correctness eliminates free speech.
They are opposite Ideologies.
They contradict each other.
Either be free or be controlled.
The choice is yours.
You're on quite a roll right now.That is courtesy.
Being polite and showing good manners are courtesy.
I expect and give courtesy because it is the right thing to do.
Understanding anothers point of view is the obviously the intelligent, courteous, and proper thing to do.
Thats not the same as respect.
The only way to get respect is to earn it.
You have a right to exect courtesy.
If you expect respect, you will never get it.
Now, that said, if everyone used good manners we wouldnt need laws, courts, governments, or police.
Good manners would save the entire human race.
The answers to the biggest problems are usually very simple.
I would say the only reason nobody does anything about it is because...The only reason nobody does anything about it in the USA is because of the same reason nobody every does anything in the USA because Americans are afraid of imprisonment if we stand up and fight.
You forget. There ARE studies out there that meet your definition of "proof" that show possible harm. Granted, those studies were skewed in an attempt to come up with a preconceived result, but it still meets your demand of "legal proof". Combined with the studies that debunk the junk studies, you're now back to "Who do you believe?".
Governments, educational institutions, and even so called "scientists" have been lying with statistics for hundreds of years. Studies often reflect the bias of those who are performing them. Objectivity is rare, and critical thinking non-existent. And when it comes to reporting/journalism, dogma has become so entrenched within the ranks that it's virtually impossible to obtain just the facts on a story. The media slants the story (and this is true on both sides of the fence) to fit what it considers should be a societal norm, rather than forcing the public to think and come up with its own conclusions.
There are those in journalism now who feel objectivity is an anachronism and their primary function is to guide the public opinion towards what they feel should be a societal norm. Investigative journalism is pretty much a joke as they do the same thing that governments do. And that's twist things to their own agenda. This is why you see such a disparaging difference between different media outlets when it comes to e-cigarettes. And when it comes to public opinion, the vast majority of individuals out there can only go by what they read or hear from the media. So is it any wonder that there are those who believe that e-cigarettes are worse than cigarettes?
The media has long passed the age where objectivity and fact are the norm. And this is why they're so willing to go along with these closed embargoes. As long as the story fits into their narrow view of how things should be, why should they rock the boat and decry the practice as a 1st Amendment violation? After all, the press is who requested the practice of embargoes to begin with.
I would say the only reason nobody does anything about it is because...
1) They rely on the mainstream media for information
2) The mainstream media is corrupted and full of large chunks of crap
3) Nobody knows how they are being fooled, because they rely on the mainstream media
4) Recycle and repeat
Yeah, there are a handful (percentage-wise) of people starting to "get it" these days.
But it might be too little, too late at this point.
I don't think that more "education" is the right answer although it may be the responsible reaction. What is happening is something deep, dark and scary. Think big bad dark evil government that will never listen and never change.
We just have to face the fact that as American's... we have been misled and taken advantage of (And We Let It Happen, Again and Again). The only way to end it is to stop trusting secret black organizations .. and if you lose your gasoline, food, fuel whatever then so be it. Dont tread on me. Death before dishonor!
