To your last comment A@G.... Information War, that's an interesting phrase; I like it :)
Thinking in terms of today's day and age, what wins out? Old boy's club closed room dogma, or mass media? I think the answer is plain. We are no longer playing by the rules of the old men in Brooklyn, but instead we are facing forward, showing our faces and telling our stories. Ultimately, in the end, they will lose - it's inevitable.
