Yes; or if not "motives" per se, then "reasons" other than just money. I just don't know if I'd go so far as wd did about there being some dark, ulterior motive (that word again) for their stupidity. "
Well, see, to the behaviorists and the benevolent bringers of the new world order, there's nothing dark about it. Who's the typical Prozac user? They say women in Utah use a whole lot of the shit. Utah's one of them there near theocracy states where everything's clean and everyone smiles while they go about their work. And they're all smiling about the same thing; that Utopian dream of a caffeen free afterlife. Only some folks evidently aren't so pleased w/ the here and now.
But of course, it's good for them. Why, those Morman women and children, they can't go about disrupting and undermining the glorious Mormon neo-paradise, criticizing their Saints and masters, can they? So, from that point of view, aren't they far better off w/ mother's little helper to close the gap and make them feel just fine about it all?
Same with school kids. Same w/ us bad and rebellious kids who frightened our parents so cruelly, who courted disaster and the 'drug culture'. Ask Betty Sembler, she'll tell ya' just what I'm saying. We all are better off for their kind and longsuffering benevolence. Why, they saved our very lives! And those of us who are not 100% satisfied customers, why we're disordered. We could use a little more treatment to make us realize how damned fortunate we are.
Tyrants always think they're saviors, ya know. Hitler, Stalin and Chairman Mao all believed, I'm sure, that they were saviors.
A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trust either of them
