People come to hear about the design and versatility of the Amy, but should they have the fateful destiny to come in contact with a squadron of Atarians (they many times travel in packs), then they become subject of the danger of becoming literally brainwashed with irrational reasonings given by these people. Quite frankly, I'm all for anyone intent on making an investment into a commodity, to seek out information on all the options that are available to them, and from this, make the choice that best suits their needs. However Atarians are an extraordinary case, much reminiscent of the old story of the 'Animal Farm'. Though not every facet of their thinking is analagous to the situations in this novel, the repeated chantings of 'Power without the price', 'Power without the price', 'Power without the price'……. and the immediate rewards and sense of justice given by the Atarians is something very much to scare you as it so very much does in this book. The fact is that, like in the novel, the Atarians announce some very 'fair' ambitions and promises and denounces any system giving you something otherwise. They chant policies and the immediate consequences of these policies, getting their community in an emotional high, leading them to believe in inaccurate truths, and removing from them the want or the challenge to rationalize things differently. Though I may not go on to say that the old faithful horse will be shot and profits will be obtained from its meat, or the ordinary members of this community look impotently into their masters window seeing them slurping on wine and chomping on the finest meat. Or that they will be held in the invisible shackles of this powerful pschology…… but then again I wouldn't be suprised. (continued……)
