You should surrender your rights because...

  • ~~Communism~~
  • ~~Terrorism~~
  • Child Abuse <-- You Are Here

Indeed, mass media influence toward giving up your rights is very common, especially in democracies. (Ironically, these are often the same rights that are necessary for a healthy democracy.) It has been going on since long before I was born. See also: propaganda, engineering of consent.
