Dr. Ledford's teaching and research interests lie in instructional design, multi-media and in visual literacy. He has conducted recent research into the relationship between susceptibility to suggestion, tested by hypnotic susceptibility, and subliminal cueing. His creative interests include motion picture and television production. He also paints and sculpts in bronze. His works have been exhibited in various galleries. He has been active with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He has interned with the Director's Guild of America and his students have been award winners with American Cinema Editors and the American Film Institute.

Would that suggest to you that film has the capability of subliminally affecting our subconscious minds? |

I think im just gunna ignore the ignorant responses.
To answer the actual questions in here, No at this exact moment i do not have 'reputable links' seeing as i dont get all my information off of the INTERNET.
And what is this 'Expierience in the bussiness' that you speak of? Where you a weapons designer for the government?
And if the Us Government is doing it, what makes you think they are gunna put regulations on US Business' doing it?
And i would also appreciate it if you werent so snide with your comments.
p.s. Thanks for the Welcome.

Lean: Independent Gender:  | Re: What is "IRON MAN's" Message About America? The message in IRON MAN is quite simple. Marvel has at last formed a studio; from hence forth all of their films can reference all their other material. IRON MAN was a slam dunk! While the upcoming HULK film is not currently tracking high, reliable media sources in LA have reported that it is on the IRON MAN level. It features Downey as Tony Stark and references the SUPER SOLDIER serum that created CAPTAIN AMERICA in WW2. Marvel has released their slate of films over the next 8 years. All of them culminate in a AVENGERS movie. Early word is that the Pitt will play THOR and honestly, who else could? Marvel unveils super schedule - Entertainment News, Los Angeles, Media - Variety BTW-Enjoyed the quick glimpse of a certain patriotic looking shield thingy in IRON MAN.  Add to it all the upcoming TONY STARK appearance in HULK as well as all the SHIELD references in IRON MAN. Throw in the Sam Jackson/Nick Fury post credit cameo and you have geek nirvana. If they can make it all pay off. 
The true message in IRON MAN is that the collective artist and accountants at Marvel finally got on the same page of copyrights and trademarks! Build it, with reverence for the source material, and they shall come. This post actually not paid for by any corporate sponsor. All companies under the Stark Industries banner excluded.

Well your post reeked of naive opinion and irritatingly old misconceptions rather than arguing a position using facts and reputable sources. The only valid point you made was that people can't be perfectly controlled no matter how hard we try but then for some reason you ranted about how the US government and the people who make the weapons are somehow "contract killers" and "all that they are thinking about is the money." | You have some serios issues. You need to read what i said again. And maybe again and again until your puny mind can actually comprehend what i am saying. DO NOT twist my own words againts me. I never said that the US Government were contract killers, i simply compared the weapons designers and sellers to contract killers. Your just getting pissy because my post actually makes sense.
Also, I am going on facts, just because my resources dont come from the INTERNET (as if that is some reputable source in itself) doesnt mean that my facts arent credible.
And you never answered my question, What is this expierience that you speak of?
How are they Irritatingly Old Misconceptions, they are fact, facts that was admitted by THE US GOVERNMENT!

You don't seem to understand that accusations without support are meaningless in this environment unless your opinion is somehow valid. Quote: |

| Then explain WHY weapons designers and sellers are similar to contract killers. Once again you just make a statement but don't explain why your statement is true. You just assume everyone should believe you because you say so. Quote: |

And if you would actually want to learn something, pick up a history book. That is one of the many sources i am getting this info from, along with the news, Press Conferences, Documentaries, etc...
AND ONCE AGAIN, READ WHAT I AM SAYING, I never said that weapons designers and seller where similar to contract killer, you are either just trying to twist my words, or your really that stupid. I was using an analogy. Quote: |

| Your an idiot, look at the definition of the word Opinion, it is not something to validated, because it is an OPINION.
You think your being smart, but your not, you STILL havent answered my question. Because your a liar. |

| Give me a title and a page number and I'll go read. Give me a youTube link. I have access to scholarly articles and papers through my university too! Until then its becoming clear that you are a liar or ignorant. PROVE ME WRONG! Quote: |

| With all these sources you should be able to point me in the direction of ONE that agrees with your claims. Quote: |

| An anaolgy where you compared weapons makers to contract killers because both are "just in it for the money". What was your point or are you back pedaling now? Quote: |
Your an idiot, look at the definition of the word Opinion, it is not something to validated, because it is an OPINION.
| Exactly. You are giving opinion about the defense industry. I am giving you facts because I've worked in it before! Quote: |
You think your being smart, but your not, you STILL havent answered my question. Because your a liar.
| And if I gave you my name, address, title, position, and phone number you likely still wouldn't believe me. You don't have a god damn clue how the government procurement process works yet you stand here spouting off ridiculous assertions from God knows what sources. Why don't you take the time and go ask someone who knows what they're talking about. |
