Searle, I found your link very interesting. I spent a lot of time trying to find out more about the film 'cry of the marsh' which is mentioned in the article. And a variety of google searches turned up little more than links to the original 'bushwaching johnny' piece from which the rense link was lifted (without any attribution...can they do that? it appears they can). Anyways, from what you can find out from some google searches, this film is not an example of successful liberal, environmental indoctrination so much as it is the whipping boy for those who seek to bash this perceived threat. Unfortunately, my search efforts were unsuccessful in finding out anything about the contents of this film, which was a dissappointment since I have a difficult time believing (not that i couldn't be wrong) that the film's portrayal of the subject matter is as biased as presented in the 'cognitive dissonance' link. Don't get me wrong...i very much believe inappropriate 'value teaching' occurs in the public school systems, and am not a supporter of mandatory education because of the problems associated with cultural indoctrination. But it seems to me that the people worrying about the teaching of 'environmentalist' propaganda are winning the brainwashing war. Our young people seem more interested in becoming good earnest consumers and full time shoppers and keeping that global economy humming than becoming tree huggers. John
