Small kids like dinosaurs because they realize (even if only
subconsciously), that as big as Mom and Dad are, a dinosaur could easily
tear them limb-from-limb or trample them underfoot. Purple TV dinosaurs
serve as early alienation training, in which affection toward natural
family is displaced by the dinosaur-led new 'family' of friends. Twelve
school years of further alienation conditioning (often called
socialization) results in a generation of easily led sheeple, perfectly
willing to dig their own graves for the amusement of those in power.
