Evidence of the existence of a genuine "war on brains" is in the transformation of a word denoting good, into an expletive. Case in point:
"
liberal
SYLLABICATION: lib·er·al
PRONUNCIATION: lbr-l, lbrl
ADJECTIVE: 1a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
"
from Bartleby.com.
Evidence of the "Big Lie" is in the fact that if you tell enough morons that the above word is bad, often enough, they will believe it.
They need guidance. If you hear someone repeating a lie, correct them and continue on. This will require patience, of course, and persistence.
