Lynda,

That hadn't really struck me but what has been sticking with me is the
similarity between now and the first part of this century - and I thought
this before 9/11 too. Similarities in the War on Drugs and Prohibition,
things happening inthe world of finance and big business, etc. I just
keep seeing more and more similarity.

ps - I perfer NO SLOGANS myself. I think they are a narcotic for the
masses - keeping us from really looking at what is going on.

In the late 60's, I took a college class on the history of the twentieth
century (so far) in the U.S. I was amazed at all the similarities between
the 20's and the 60's.

You've got that right. And with this TV-addicted society, the majority are
primed to respond to slogans more than anything else. Scary!
