With religion the stupider something you believe in is the better as it demonstrates more faith and faith, that is to say believing in something when there is absolutely no reason to do so, is the greatest virtue there is.

I think it's fairly common for repressive regimes to prefer to avoid acknowledging their people's desires to escape or communicate with the outside. I suspect that part of it is because people feel more powerless if they don't realise that they are far from alone in their dislike of the society they live in. Telmo.

The answer is, pigeon breeders have to make little sets of underwear for their pigeons.
