I don't care for reality shows either, although my wife does. My main point was that the clerics are exactly right that the program is intended to help shape public opinion. I was having a bit of fun with you regarding social engineering earlier and honestly I don't agree with some of it, but the truth of the matter is that it does influence people's attitudes. Fundamentalist Islam is partly in a quandary now, because they fear that satellite TV and the Internet will forever change their society and westernize their culture. Many of them will resist this, but it will chip away at many of their long held beliefs. * * *
