Just saw this post. Very interesting. Actually, it is a very complex subject for people are so different. I was thinking from my own point of view, that of being always pretty single minded and hard headed with my own opinions and beliefs. I can definitely see where you are coming from here because being open-minded is thought of so highly in our society. There is such a thing as being too open-minded and having trouble settling in on important matters. I have met a lot of "lost" individuals.

Yes, that is how I understood her, too. And I agree with the sentiment, but the truth is, minds are not that hard to manipulate, and choices are not that hard to influence: children do it masterfully!
Neuro Linguistic Programming--now that is, in fact, a scary kit of tools.

Imho, TAP'S comment was saying we can never really control another's thought process and/or belief system, no matter if we desire to and try hard to do so - ultimately the outcome or final product so to speak belongs uniquely to them. And that is a good thing, of course - effective mind control is a scary prospect.

I haven't read what Taps said, but this is correct in its content.
