A story about communication

Hitler hypnotising gays

Hitler’s hypnotising gaze

Treat your children with suspicion and contempt

The fact that things might go wrong is no reason

not to do them

(that’s 1,743,281)

It’s not hard to see that this affects all

levels of government

It’s the implications of using it.

A place where people work, play, talk, act

There’s room for everyone to do

marvellous things

Thanks for listening
