Do you believe there are true value systems? How do you
distinquish true from false value systems? Perhaps that will
give a clue as to what to term the un-true or less than true
value systems. Do you believe the truth of a value system is
binary or that you can intellectually fully analyze and judge a
value system? We get into interesting questions quickly here.

What are you including in "media"? What is normally included
excludes a lot of the means of transmitting and perfecting meme
infestations. What is normally included is increasing the voice
of a few large players and the voice of what the government
wishes to be believed. It is usually quite empty of any real
values or at least of unambiguous mention of same. It is a
tissue of assumptions, rationalizations and manipulations.
