| Fear.
If you want to market anything that will result in Joe One-Fodder-Unit and his family taking it in the shorts, Fear is the tool of choice.
Want a demogogic and just plain bad law that reduces personal rights far in excess of what would be effective? Fear.
Want people to pay a lot more at the gas pumps and for heating oil? Fear, like the price spike based on this pissant little snow squall that just passed through the Northeast. We used to laugh at stuff like this. Now? Fear. And higher oil and gas prices.
Want to make anything happen that negatively affects or creates economic or social control over the Internet? Fear. Watch out, that MySpace is gonna get your kid raped or something.
Wanna make kids virtual rightless non-citizens, because you never know what those wacky knuckleheads will do next or pierce next or listen to next? Fear.
Fear: It's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
An digression: When I was a kid, I practically lived in the woods. I hunted, I fished, I ran around there like some neo cro-magnon. My parents loved it that way. Now, you would be hard pressed to find many kids who are allowed near the woods. Fear. Might get a tick.
