If you're dumb enough to be fooled by propaganda (or the Coca-Cola
     company), then I feel sorry for you.  You make a good point, 
     however: education is the best way to help society protect
     itself from the blatherings and blubberings of political
     and/or religious propaganda.  It would be a good tool in 
     creating a more unified, and informed, world.
