   Speaking of this... society at large today, seems to want to teach people   
   to not think certain things.   
      
   I try shock therapy sometimes and say the word "negro" to people. Some go   
   silent, some become afraid and look around, and some... the interesting   
   ones... ask my why I sad the forbidden word, and then we're off having a   
   very interesting conversation about what society tries to force us to   
   think and if that is a good thing or not.
