    It's just an extension of the stuff they did in the 60s/70s to get people to learn while they were sleeping .... trying to learn subjects in your sleep (e.g. history, French). Results only lasted a week in this study ... I'd like a world where nutters had their brains retrained :)

    I'm currently looking for an easter island style head statue for the back garden.

    Yes, should look good next to the mushroom garden table and chairs. :D

    Is it just me or do the proper democratic countries of the world look increasingly like mid C20th fictional dystopia?

    The way I see it is that '1984' was supposed to be a warning not a manual....

    But no doubt I can be re-educated, not just to understand the political correctness is for the good of humanity but to actively love the concept.

    I meant to say to you yesterday when you said maybe I should be worried about being like you... maybe you're actually more normal than you think. Sorry :)
