  I just got this phone call from Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasance -

  "the woods are lovely, dark and deep - and I have miles to go before I sleep" ----

  (poster drops phone, and goes to load up his private plane with a heavy ammunition box...)

  - you have to see Telephon on TCM again; I had forgotten that the brainwashed agents couldn't even shoot very straight -

  "controls your thinking plane and simple "

  I think I made it clear in my previous post that they may be able to control my simple thinking, but never my <plane> thinking!

  Sadly I would have to say that the government controls a persons actions, more than his thoughts. For example when I was a kid, I was a "trap-shooting brat." Meaning that my Dad was heavily into trapshooting, and competed in a tri-state area. I was hauled to it seemed like dozens of different gun clubs. I have memories of many smoke filled rooms at these clubs, with men talking freely about the politics and policies of the day. As I got older, I saw that this was no more. People had become afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting their words twisted and used against them by the government. People I think for the most part, still think the same way....they are just afraid to open their mouth. The above is offered for informational and educational purposes only.

  Well, I have been able to become publicly Apathetic Agnostic recently and witness many in my own family really bash this administration; so far none have disappeared into the night. Too bad the govt. has so little control over the anti-USA attitude TAUGHT in our public schools and universities.
  
  And the UN has our Supreme Court brainwashed as can be seen by recent decisions........

  I would agree that the government controls more actions than thoughts. But it is not always bad. Let's say you are driving down the road running late and you get to an intersection that has a red light. Well the goverment installed cameras to ticket you if you run the light which in turn controls your actions because you would think twice about running the light which would also keep you safe from possibly getting creamed. The media has more power over thought.
  
  As far as the comment regarding bashing the current administration is anti-USA. I am a republican who is none to pleased with this administration. If feel me displeasure is actually more American because I love my country and I'm just concered about some of the things that are happening. But it's equally American to have your opinion as well.
