2. Fear-based

The vast majority of our citizenry are fear-based and raise their children to believe in the religious mythologies of their forebears--promoting obeisance to paternalistic authority and the perception of women as soiled seducers of men. This ubiquitous psychic wound underpins the marginalization of #Occupy and virtually every other contemporary social protest.

Dare I hope that STILL YET a small group of concerned citizens can change our world?
