Ideology has been used time and again to justify the use 
of force; I have never seen philosophy used in that way. 
 
Philosophy pretends that it is rational, based on some 
kind of 'irrefutable' fundamentals.  If force were applied 
in trying to support a philosophy, it would demonstrate 
that rational logic was inadequate to the purpose, and it 
would look like an oxymoron. 
 
Ideology, by it's very application of force, demonstrates 
that reason is inadequate to support it. David, can you 
think of an ideology that does not employ the inculcation 
by force of the young to it's point of view? The fact 
that the force employed may be by the parents does not 
change the fact that it is force.
