I used to argue with my friend about major political issues which I believe main stream media is lying, government is lying, politician is lying, and sadly citizens and student leaders are manipulated. I quoted wiki leads and it is supported by other evident that is hard to argue. But nearly all the people will not listen to it and not dare to believe in wiki leaks. Say, it is not official or not reliable source etc... The brainwashing through education and media is far greater extend than you imagine.

You open an empty cage in your balcony, there are birds nest there soon, expecting someone will feed them and tame them. Of course those are not very good birds.
