HOW TO PREVENT BRAINWASHING.

The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time. You never get clarity as long as you have these packaged words, as long as a word is used by twenty-five people in twentyfive different ways. That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left. Ezra Pound, American editor and poet.
