Mark:

The ancient Greeks created the concept of "shock therapy". It is still a valid concept in certain psychological scenarios even today. One of the scenarios encompasses the cases where individuals have been subjected to years of brainwashing convincing them that what is not real actually exists. These people choose to believe fantasies and organizations built on these primitive belief models are attempting to undermine my constitutional rights. I have the right to at least attempt to lead some of them back to sanity. I often use shock therapy because reasoned arguments alone can no longer reach many of them. This is because their capacity to reason has been deadened more fully than any alcoholic's or cocaine addict's ever could be.

Over the course of the last few years I have been successful with a few. Although small in number, each is a mind saved and actually a giant victory for the future of mankind.
