The illusion of freedom will continue as long as its profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.

Quoting: AlcoholicRunner That, my friend is called a false flag, and apparently no one really dies in those anyway. ;) No, to be serious, I think the point the principal is making is that the kids are a million times happier when they can express themselves, rather than just repeating thing to pass their test scores. So the kids will be less likely to bring a gun to school to shoot anybody, when they feel connected and have a purpose in life. |
