I completely agree with your last line. (I wrote my law honours thesis on an anti-technocrat line). Problem is we live in a owrld dominated by the most inane of 'information'. Who eactly is it that is keepin the just plain workin folk's knowledge alive (in Australia, at least, history is barely taught in grade school)? Regards

Any number of writers have pointed out that controlling information is the means to controlling the past. A common example is the way Stalin had official photos engineered to remove the people he'd subsequently killed. I don't want to buy into the somewhat inflated claims of Katz but its important to remember that controlling the past enables you to control the future. Regards.
