"brainwashed response"? :-) How would I know if I was brainwashed? How would you recognise if you yourself were brainwashed?

If a belief stands the test of time does it become truth? This is not a good situation... John On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 6:14 PM, philip madsen <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > John, g'day..
