A lesson for all of us

An elderly Native American was talking to his grandson about how he
felt about the tragedies in this world.

"I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart.

One wolf is angry, vengeful, and violent. The other is a reasoning,

loving and compassionate wolf."

"Which wolf will win the fight?" the grandson.asked.

The old man solemly replied, "The one I feed."

I have it! the solutions to 9-11! It has occurred to me that the Arabs may have had disgruntled postal worker syndrome from drinking too much diet coke. The excess cyclamates, the lack of pacifying camel meat endorphins, exposure to dangerous CRT screen flicker, and the college education anxiety on their medieval minds made them snap. The stress level on their terrorist neural centres, enlarged through centuries of bedouin vendettas, resulted in synapse overload and complete shutdown of the moral righteousness centres or the forebrain forward thinking areas that evaluate the consequences of actions and activates conscience and associative human feeling. Ergo, a made in the 21st century TV terrorist. A religio zombie woof. Who woulda think that true life was worse than fairy tales?

There is some suggestion that the Doctors who are at the forefront of these cells have hit upon certain drugs that make these people highly vengeful and easily led. It seems that radical personality change was effected, according to their families. Robert Shulgin was experimenting with Mescaline derivatives for the US army to evaluate alkaloids that induced fear, suggestibility and anger without inducing intoxication. If drives can be extinguished by chemicals as one Ottawa doctor has demonstrated recently then can they be amplified? The brain is a chemical factory. Tinker with it and you can create a monster, as has been suggested by Jekyll and Hyde. Were these Arabic terrorists fed prozac and ritalin? Can you tailor make a killer? hmmmmm. We know the army and governments have looked at this. Perhaps they can tell us what may lurk here.

In order to avoid this spectre in the future we should rebuild the WTC as hundreds of mini WTC's widely distributed throughout the country. Make them of solid concrete and steel perhaps only 100 feet high, with 20 stories underground. Roofs would be domed so nobody could snipe from the rooftops. Parking would be 1/4 mile away so not even an atomic weapon would have much effect. People need the excercise anyway. Lets face it, with todays high bandwidth communications offices can be widely distributed. We do not need to all work in the same building anymore.
