"I wish it were possible, from this instance, to invent a method of embalming drowned persons, in such a manner that they might be recalled to life at any period, however distant; for having very ardent desire to see and observe the state of America a hundred years hence, I should prefer to an ordinary death, being immersed with a few friends in a cask of Madeira, until that time, then to be recalled to life by the solar warmth of my dear country."
Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Jacques Barbeu Dubourg.

Inplants/subliminal suggestion/genetic surgery/drug & diet therapy/submersed psychological programming/genetic regression
etc...with all modern methods of enhancement/control are we who we think we are? Are we to a greater or lesser degree just variations of Faustian/Frankenstinien pact with possible extra-terrestrial control...Nikola Tesla believed so!
Do we have any free-will? And is'nt every-thing an "Illusion"...what is the value of money and what does it measure...there one thing for sure: "Money is Highly Inflammable"...We are in a great need of another method of trading that is not at the mercy of speculation...that is based on Karma and need not greed...

If The Light goes out

Believing in nowt
And to be cast-out...
On a sea of doubt

With a mighty shout
Cries to the devout...
Never be with-out!

Avoid the mean tout
And the thuggish lout...
Let the Evil out!

By stealth be a scout
The Villains...do rout
With a hefty clout

If The Light goes out
Do not the Law flout...
But to Truth be stout.
