I have finally got around to reading The Catcher In The Rye, something I have been meaning to do for years. Part of the reason for this is because of it's reputation as the CIA 'Trigger Book', sending secretly brainwashed people off on killing rampages, as it were. Surely this...technology could be put to good use?

I propose the writing of a Red Cross (or similar aid organisation) Trigger Book and the secret brainwashing of hundreds, nay, thousands of individuals to perform beneficial charity work after reading this book.

I love the smell of Social Engineering in the mornings! And I know you didn't leave out the more appropriate (for us HBers) Red Crescent version of those medical humanitarians on porpoise [htj].

No, not on any sea mammal at all [Consul], just the product of my own foolishness I'm afraid.

Ah, so you're that psychosonambulist I saw on the news then, [Tabs]?

I read somewhere that it only takes about three days of sleep depravation.

It's the Red Scare all over again. Oh no! The government is jailing anyone suspected of being a paramedic!
