And how can we make people understand what it's all about? It is called Fear Uncertainty Doubt (FUD) and it comes with conditioning. People are habitual; most people also do not think for themselves, they just follow what they are told if it fits within their understanding and belief. Otherwise they have to be conditioned through systematic FUD. Or if we want them to learn through good information then we also have to systematically condition them in the same manner with good information rather then the FUD. All you have to do to see what I am talking about is look back through history and you will see slow systematic changes in the things people accept now that they did not several years or decades ago. -- http://24.197.142.167/ See the Openoffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
