[quote:Anonymous Coward 1213058:MV8xMzI2ODkxXzIxNzg2MjY5XzE2MEIxQzYx] I can't find nothing for ya. I assume you've tried going over the various behavioral psychology experiments dealing with obedience to authority? The program sounds interesting, but it stands to reason. The experiment would be no different than telling your kids about Santa Claus. It's a well known fact that people tend to believe those they trust (those in positions of authority) so much that they will often create the reality they believe actually exists (lots of kids claim to see Santa or hear him). Another example would be the MSM reporting to the general public or the words, "the experts say" escaping the lips of a sheeple. Many atheists believe that the teaching that there is a God is really just a creation made by TPTB to control what can not be controlled in the masses (their thoughts and conscience) in a more agreeable way for TPTB (kinda like telling children scary stories about what will happen if they get out of bed before morning).

I saw this on TV about 2 weeks ago, but it was in a commercial on a channel like the History Channel or the Discovery Channel or something. They said that in that time frame schools did experiments where they told the children that there was a real bunny running around their schools and recorded what the children reactions were; if they saw it or not. (Like I guess the experiment was geared towards if an adult or someone of authority told you they saw a bunny, would you say you saw it too?) Was wondering if anyone actually watched the program or if anyone has any other links to this?
Thanks!
