    Here is another thing to discuss==RoboRats.

    When I was in college there was a paranoiac living in my rooming house(I ran
    a rooming house) who was convinced that the government could read his mind
    through the TV set when an airplane flew over. I thought of him when I read
    the science news report at
    http://newssearch.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1961000/1961798.stm

    It seems that electrodes placed in the pleasure centers of the rats brains
    allow external control of the rat--science fiction has again become fact.
    If applied to people, what a way to have slavery. Do what the master wants
    and he punches a button to give you a warm feeling, the sensation of an
    orgasm or any other pleasurable experience. But do what he doesn't want and
    he makes you feel like you are on fire. The paranoiac friend was wrong,
    they don't read your mind through the TV, they control it!
