***OT Reply***Maurice, in the early 1970's there was a U.S.-based company called Presley Development (no relation to THE KING), that claimed to have a pill you could drop into your gas tank (which would only need to be filled with water, awaiting the miraculous pill to convert it to a useable fuel), but they disappeared. Our discussion of the mind is relevant here, because it was the malleability of the consciousness of the masses that made the stock of Presley Development go from pennies to about $80 per share. Your experiences with methanol, etc., reveal a lot about your mind, and my respect grows, not only because you were obviously intelligent enough to be employed in a position of responsibility related to "new" technology, but because you have the irreverence to have had fun with it.
And you're right about the diffidence of the mass mind these days, and the lack of willingness to stake a claim to oneself and stand by it, no matter what. To anyone who believes in the sacredness of the individual (such as yourself), I recommend ATLAS SHRUGGED, by Ayn Rand as the Bible of Individuality.
Now, knock it off, Maurice, or Readware's going to come back and seize this board!
Sincerely,
Jack Morgan |
