13. satanism is to Christianity as

Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 11:05 AM by leftofthedial

Al Qaeda is to the BFEE

Take a handful of disorganized "bad guys" who may or may not actually exist, lump them all in one bucket without regard to any affinities or hatreds they may actually have for one another, give them a name, blame some heinous act(s) on them, demonize them relentlessly, declare "war" on them, blame every subsequent act of every "bad guy" on them, and PRESTO!

Instant boogey man.

Now, simply use the boogey man to frighten your subjects into obedience.
