    Political cognitive dissonance and the psychology of soft slavery
    "When a public is stressed and confused, a big lie told repeatedly and unchallenged can become accepted truth." ~George OrwellThe idea of slavery is one of those concepts that has the tendency to be uttered in black and white terms. But slavery is anything but black and white.
