I love pieces that so accurately summarize the chaos around us.

This is one.

Thanks Eric!

Thank you for the enlightenment on one of the real issues in human relations.

How (the means by which) do we convey messages to one another for any purpose, are the things that media and people should mainly be focusing on in considering any conflict between people.

When media don't illuminate the people about propaganda as acts of trickery to circumvent human will, ethics, morality, and rule of law, then, we all fall into the trickery of the propagandist.

The substance of the propagandist's message or act should be second to the means (trickeries or not) employed to convey the message.

If we were to always examine (as priority) the means by which messages are conveyed to the people, society would be more critical in its choices and decisions.
