  Flash back to the turn of the nineteenth century, to a time when we didn't even know gorillas existed. It was thought gorillas were some mythical being or legend that pygmy tribesmen had fabricated. Prior to 1847, the gorilla was unnamed and only known by rumor. In 1902 the mountain gorilla was 'discovered' and is now history. Modern day beliefs top these stories with the famous Y2K scare. I know anyone reading this would agree that this was probably the biggest hype of our lifetime. I'll never forget my Dad stocking up groceries in the cellar for Doom's Day. This falsehood also existed even earlier, (cough) the underground bunkers that our parents or grand parents can recall which were to protect them from the red scare. They can remember that if you didn't have one you were as good as dead. At any second they believed that they were going to be nuked by the Russians. Fear and deception is a device, a tool, and a means to an end.
