There is always someone trying to put their own spin on things isn't there. Back in the 30's Germany had the idea of the pure Aryan race and how there was a lost golden age etc. that was used to excuse their politics. I'm sure they aren't alone though. Every culture uses the printed word somehow to promote or excuse itself in some way or other. Of course the old fairy tales did have morals in them I think. Little Red Riding Hood could be a warning to not to talk to strangers for example.
