Bill, Re: "It is pure coercion to make the kids adhere to the norm. I wonder why they do not say it before each morning class at Harvard or MIT? Because no adult would stand for it"

How is it that adults can stand being "forced" into education at all. Is sitting in a two hour lecture listening to a monotone professor so that you can get your degree and be a part of "normal life" better than reciting a Pledge of Allegiance?

Oh, I get it. We're not "forced" to have an education, either, but most people take it for granted that without it, you'd be lost in today's world, right? Kinda like National Unity.

Bill,

Re: "Peer pressure in young groups is very powerful. It is in fact a form of bullying
that is authorised by the system."

Almost sounds like you are describing the "Mani" Moderated AMD Thread ??!! <ggg>
If you don't "tow the line" with the AMD "dogma", you're out.

Make It So,
Yousef
