The next time you attempt to discuss with a friend or acquaintance a serious issue (such as legal emigration, the Iraq war, or our loss of constitutional rights under Patriotic Act, or the Supreme Court Decision doing away with private rights and you get that “glazed, blank, mindless, couldn’t care less expression” refer to this article which attempts to explain the cause of that glazed expression: Pavlovian/Skinnerian conditioning, be it through programs at school, computers at school or at home, the television, radio, music, video games, or plain print media.

A very well written article that explains the danger of Pavlovian/Skinnerian computerized education with its goals to eliminate memory, conscience, imagination, creativity, insight, intuition, and most importantly free will. Without free will and ability to think and make decisions for themselves, lacking conscience and personal sense of responsibility our children will be no more than conditioned (trained) animals. It is really scary.
Well, I need a double dose of peppermint tea to calm my sick stomach.
