--{ The Mass is Easy Prey for Men Like Edward Bernays:
"From Standardized Consumer Directed by Stealth,
Guided into 'The Century of The Self,'
Items which Lasted, Now Gone, Oh Dismay,
Thanks to Lehman Bros. and Edward Bernays,
Advisor to Leaders, This Man with Babble,
Had Secret Training in Managing Rabble,
Planned Obsolescence Became the Rule,
New is Better, The Object to Fool,
Unconscious Desires, 'You Deserve It,'
Throw Old Away, No Need to Preserve It,
This Sigmund's Nephew Knew the Game,
Treat People as Fools, All the Same,
Fooled a Nation to War under Red Scare Pretense,
Died Rich in Old Age, No Trace of Repentance" © Alan Watt }--
