...and large-scale public brainwash has met its limits. The brainwash has
shifted from myths (e.g. Open Source is unreliable) to lies and FUD (e.g.
Open Source 'steals' from Microsoft and will take you to jail).

You know, people would realise something is wrong when a candidate ceases
talk about unemployment and begins fluanting/waving WMD claims. That's when
supression of the mind ends.
