Do you even remotely understand the concept of brainwashing?
So, since they want to stay, it must be a religion? Sounds like you think it’s all hunky dory cuz the girls ain’t runnin’.

I mean, I said it before, but horses will return to a burning barn out of fear of the dark ‘out there’. Same with these women. Their individuality has been removed and replaced with a fear of freedom.

Pretty frickin’ ironic.

I am aware of brainwashing. I am also aware that the accusation of brainwashing is often used as a "wax nose" to describe teaching or behavior to which one is opposed. There are legitimate cases of brainwashing, as happened to our POWs in Communist hands in the Korean War. However, one could argue that a more common victim of brainwashing is a child in a liberal, anti-religious home environment in a liberal community because he would be exposed to nothing but Marxist, secular humanist, and anti-religious thought at both home and school. That such children often grow up to be amoral and brain dead could be used as evidence that the Feds should overthrow the schools and social order in places like Marin County, California, or Key West, Florida.

When government goes beyond its appropriate role as enforcer of laws designed to protect individual liberty and property, the danger of abuse increases, as history shows. “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” (George Washington)

I've heard that, but horses are particularly afraid of fire , often to the point where it is difficult to get them out of the barn. (Which might be the source of that old saw). But I've never heard of them being afraid of the dark. Being alone bothers them some, but not the dark. IOW, I don't believe they'd return to the barn while it was burning. Although a mare might if she could hear her foal inside, and a foal(ie. a colt or a filly) might if it could hear it's mother inside.
