intended use of devices

[Patrick]

How can the intention of a small amount of people have such a large effect on the society as a whole?

I would say that we got to where we are because of our collective choices for many past incarnations.

What do you mean?

I mean that it's not really a small amount because we all, to some degree, accepted the teachings offered by STS Orion peddlers over time.

Now, with the information age, it's easier for the population to see where the acceptance of those policies has brought us.

We are always offered chances to make other choices.

But like Ra said, the less opportunities to make other choices are used, the less they are offered.
