"We need education to counteract indoctrination and we need tools with which to do it in the digital age."

Unfortunately, the perpetually outraged, guillotine- watching, busy knit-typing sentinels have far too many 'likes' and 'fans' and 'followers' to ever be thwarted by some tweed-wearing English teacher.

A teacher who just might find himself the outrage de jour for daring to challenge the 'feelings' of his students.

When CEO's cave in to demands over how an M&M Green Candy should be depicted, we are running into the monetary power-wall behind any movement.

After all, Lenin did not return from exile to Russia without plenty of the German 'Papiermark' to speed him on his way.

Nor did Hitler get into power without the help from Ford, IBM, the Brown Bank or the Vatican.

One can only hope that a tipping point, like that which helped to end the 50's McCarthyism, that some version of "Have You No Sense of Decency?" will herald in the tools and the education needed 'to counteract indoctrination' on both extreme ends of the political spectrum.

Love Bannon as Dorian Grey almost as much as the extended human body metaphor and free radicals.
