We might not realize what is happening...history repeats itself, repeatedly.

Take a look at this link to read the description of the book being sold:

I find it interesting that propoganda, or strong messages sent by way of news, radio, and advertisement, where the people of Nazi Germany were at the time leading up to the crisis, led a society to justify the annihilation of Jews without second thought.   It's history, and history repeats itself, repeatedly.  That's scary.

With media messages permeating our homes, phones, and internet, where "we the people" are spending OUR time, it makes me wonder what damaging topics or issues our society is trying to force us to become indifferent toward.  Any guesses?

I know that the more one sees, observes or interacts with content that was once questionable in their mind, the more it becomes less bothersome as time goes on.

A future series of blog posts entitled, "What you once thought was Wrong, Propoganda makes Right" will look at modern-day ads that propogate indifference toward traditional family values. 

As each generation replaces the last, strong family, and moral values are deteriorating, and the media is making what once was repulsive to the general population something of beauty, while portraying traditional values and those that uphold them "outdated" and intolerant individuals. 

Look for updates and leave suggestions for future blog posts!
