Ask a question once and it’s a question. Twice and it’s persuasion. Three times and it’s coercion. Keep down this road and it’s brainwashing. The same idea constantly repeated, whether question or statement is the means to implant an idea on a person. This is known and used by the advertising and pop music culture….

He who strikes first has lost the debate of intellect. Battles are decided before they are fought. In war there is never a winner, only victims. Your not as old as you feel. Your as old as you think. Fire is best fought with water, not fire. Revenge is a dish best not served. Forgiveness…
