Propaganda - a photo on Flickriver

Propaganda

I learnt a new word today. Its a very big word. I don't quite know what it means.

I just hate it when people try to force their opinions on me. Ive seen flyer's and posters all over the place, each commending their own preferred system and condemning the other. Without any real information on how any of these systems work.
And in a few days everyones supposed to vote on it.

Inflate your waistcoat, wind down your eyes,
Tie on your best smile, check your disguise.
Dry clean your old jokes, practice despair,
Hide your relations under the stairs.
You're invited to attend the turkey party convention;
Isn't that nice?
You can leave your troubles at the door
We have ways to make you cheer
As long as you're not sick or poor
A negro or a queer.
We can fit you with a suit of clothes
That will make you look like us,
An appointments book and a new outlook
A ladder or a truss
Have another cup of reality
Drink and drink some more!
You can own a boat, a house, a car,
Or live like Howard Hughes;
Come on what have you got to lose...
And if you're discreet there are pleasures sweet
You can even swap your wife
If you'll only sign the dotted line
You'll be fine... Oh so fine...
Thank you for joining here are your pills
The man in the white coat wilI send you the bill.
Would you like to meet
Our most distinguished member... a doctor Faustus by name!

Is my face on straight?
Will they laugh at the gate
Oh I mustn' t be late
Is my face on straight?
Is my face on straight?
Will they let me throught the gate
Oh I mustn't be late
Is my face on straight... Is my face on straight...
Is my face on straight?
- Peter Sinfield

"Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist."
