Funny thing hearing Platt talk about indoctrination.  Knowing where you 
live, in what time you grew up, and reading the things you write here, the 
question of who is indoctrinated is quite easy to answer to me.  I mean, 
this radio talk, and not giving proper arguments for anything, just 
condemning things as Stalinism or whatever, that is the true sign of an 
indoctrinated person. I mean, I can't really see the big difference between 
you and the Egyptian guy in my friends building who gladly points out to 
anyone who listens that they are going to hell because they are Godless 
people. Why? Because that's the way it is.

All this said as one who studies history full time. Worth mentioning.
