Aye, it's true. Who do you think designs the communications systems and other hardware that enable our society to exist.
It's not that we would be able to talk our way out of the firing squad, we'd avoid it all together and direct the manipulable bio-mass of "the faithful" to do our bidding and put whoever we want on the firing squad. This is the policy of the current administration.
I'd much rather NOT have the ignorant masses out there for monsters like the Bush administration to prey on and manipulate. It's not that I don't feel like I couldn't avoid a firing squad. It's that I'd rather have a world of reasoned and self-aware friends where a rising tide raises all ships instead of the current situation where monsters step on the bodies of the ignorant to reach their idols.
