"WHO'S RUNNING OUR BRAINS?"

Start with a cage containing five monkeys.

Inside the cage , hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs

under it.

Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs

and start to climb towards the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with

cold water.

(TURN ON TV)

After awhile, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all

the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new

monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his SURPRISE

and HORROR, all of the other monkeys ATTACK him. After another attempt

and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be

assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original monkeys and replace it with a NEW

ONE.

The new comer goes to the stairs and is attacked.  The previous newcomer

takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm!

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,

then the fifth. Everytime the newest monkey takes to the stairs (STARS)

he is attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him

have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs (TO THE

STARS) or why they are participating in the beating of the newest

(AWAKENED) monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys,

NONE of the REMAINING MONKEYS have ever been sprayed with cold water.

Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs (STARS) to try

for the banana. (TRUE FREEDOM)

WHY NOT? 

Because as far as they know, that's the way it has always been done!
