Can You Spell Despotism?
I have not been writing much lately. That is because I have been surfing. I have been reading and watching videos on everything I can find on religion, politics, etc. I am still digesting what I am learning, but I did want to share this fun little video.
Is your community sinking into… despotism? Find out with this handy video from GroundZeroCoffee.com. Based on an actual 1946 classroom film. From the media to schools to elections: how did they know…?! – Quote by “groundzerocoffee” at You Tube.
The film quite clearly outlines several scales with which to measure your community. Scales include the “The Respect Scale” and the “Power Scale”, then goes on to “The Economic Scale” and “The Information Scale”.
Tell me what you think, or even better share it with your friends.

About Me
My most treasured value is my freedom. It is one I have been willing to die for. Without freedom, my life is not my own. Why should I live a life not my own?
I served 6 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I served between two wars – Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I have spent most of my life seeking truth. I am still looking and suspect I always will be…
I have a vision of this blog being a place where I can explore the “Devil’s Advocate” position on various topics and share my opinions (and where I get them). My hope is to help myself and others to develop skill in critical thinking.
I am not a scholar. If you are looking for scholarly debates and dissertations, please look elsewhere. I am merely a middle-aged woman on a quest. If you are interested in following my thinking, welcome.
Sometimes I make mistakes. I even make dumb ones at times. So, if you catch me in one, please do point it out. That is how I learn. If you find yourself with an opinion different from mine, by all means, tell me about it and explain why you think the way you do. That way, we can all learn.
In the interest of making fewer mistakes, Logic and Fallacies – Constructing a Logical Argument is a great resource.
It may take me awhile to find my voice, but this is a journey, right?
