You're right. However, when I point out to folks that they govern themselves every day, and no overlord has to tell them to brush their teeth or run their lives, they are confronted with the fact they do in fact do that, every day.
It's a start.
Thanks!
That's a great way to help people see their own self governance.
There's another side to that coin as well, which I realized recently while reaching for dish soap that I didn't need to wash a dish.
I said to myself:
"Oh wow, the corporate programming has worked great, I always use dish soap even when I don't need it!"
It "Dawned" on me, product pun intended :D Now I use less dish soap.
Of course dish washing and tooth care are something that would exist outside of a government controlled system, but I bet the fluoride laden corporate products have also helped people with their tooth brushing self governance, while grabbing that squeeze tube every time.
It's still a great example, I just find the programming in everything.
Thank you as well for your response!
