I agree, it definately is. However, I view it in a bit of a different context entirely from the norm---I view "mind control" or "brainwashing" as an outright manipulation of an individual's personal beliefs, morals & philosophy. When a person with a few letters behind their name graduates college & gains the societal-given power (so to speak, for the lack of a better way to put it) to manipulate those things, I believe that's what constitutes mind control & brainwashing. I believe it's a very subtle route, and a very detrimental one in the long-run pertaining to personal strength & individuality.However I will agree, the average perception about mind control is a bit off
