10. Nature? Nurture?

I think the human race has all the genetic code required to evolve with human conditions, but what controls the rate of evolution sure is interesting.

Are there entities in control of the message every day? Are there "distracters" to prompt an at large society to behave a certain way? Yes, I think that's worked quite well in the form of unfettered capitalism.

People become sheep because the message is controlled. Except, some of us don't because we continue to question. We are nurtured to think for ourselves.

Who's gonna win? For goodness sake, I sure hope it's the population at large who holds stedfast to questioning every controlled message being shoved down our collective throats by these fucking fascists.

It really pisses me off that this, and so many other stories like it, can't buy any attention here. Egalitarian Thug Dec 2012 #1
