Apparently we all imagine that what is projected in each function is pure fun and joy, but what we really do not know and we do not even ever wonder how those animals feel, that without their consent they are forced to do all those stunts And with that comes mistreatment and torture so that they obey the orders that are given to them. Do you think circuses should continue to exist?

Nor did they posses a really effective system of mind-manipulation. Under a scientific dictator, education will really work with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown.
