"Can I get a tongue piercing, Daddy?"
-uttered in jest by my 13-year-old daughter, who's too frightened to get odd piercings at the moment.
Doubtless a harbinger of things to come, though.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.
