Rage to get Reactions and Results

We may try and kid ourselves as to the extent of our evolution from the instinct-driven animals we descended from, but when it comes down to it, in the face of fear and rage (our two most overwhelming emotions) we resort back to our old ways. Reason is abandoned; Rationality is thrown our of the window. When we feel threatened we do all we can to protect ourselves from the threat. We prepare to attack and instinctively we look toward a leader to guide us to victory (the leader of the pack). Incidentally, the threat does not have to be actual. An apparent threat can raise an equally high level of alarm and instinctive reaction; Image is just as important as reality. Leaders worldwide have realised that in order to produce the desired result, the appropriate reaction must be extracted from the population leading to a corresponding action, which finally culminated in the calculated and expected result. To produce the reaction that sets the ball rolling, leaders have never confined themselves to the exact truth. Exaggerations and insinuations abound. And why not? It's so much easier to belive things that make you look good, and so simple to believe in the honesty and integrity of our nation's leaders. Indeed, we are a world of fools. Puppets played so skilfully that with all our education and "intelligence" we cannot feel the strings tugging us this way and that.
