Will this be addressing new charters for the 2 original groups (rpd

no.

why? you have no problem pillaging the groups? no new charters as
your gratitude?

You're the one who wants this done, you lead it.

It takes unity to make it work.
I now view your new group as the elitist power grab others have
called you on. You might as well petition for a moderated group.

When are you going to ever post anything about photography, Steve?

148. Other techniques strike deeper that the foregoing. Education is
no longer a simple affair of paddling a kid's behind when he doesn't
know his lessons and patting him on the head when he does know them.
It is becoming a scientific technique for controlling the child's
development. Sylvan Learning Centers, for example, have had great
success in motivating children to study, and psychological techniques
are also used with more or less success in many conventional schools.
"Parenting" techniques that are taught to parents are designed to make
children accept fundamental values of the system and behave in ways
that the system finds desirable. "Mental health" programs,
"intervention" techniques, psychotherapy and so forth are ostensibly
designed to benefit individuals, but in practice they usually serve as
methods for inducing individuals to think and behave as the system
requires. (There is no contradiction here; an individual whose
attitudes or behavior bring him into conflict with the system is up
against a force that is too powerful for him to conquer or escape
from, hence he is likely to suffer from stress, frustration, defeat.
His path will be much easier if he thinks and behaves as the system
requires. In that sense the system is acting for the benefit of the
individual when it brainwashes him into conformity.) Child abuse in
its gross and obvious forms is disapproved in most if not all
cultures. Tormenting a child for a trivial reason or no reason at all
is something that appalls almost everyone. But many psychologists
interpret the concept of abuse much more broadly. Is spanking, when
used as part of a rational and consistent system of discipline, a form
of abuse? The question will ultimately be decided by whether or not
spanking tends to produce behavior that makes a person fit in well
