Quest, did you think I was directing my response at you?

(laughs)

Anyway, I did read your rhetoric. I actually agree with you on nearly every point, although I doubt you'd believe me.

What's really going on here is exactly what I've been discussing throughout this thread : mind control.

Based off of a few simple keystrokes, any one of us are able to convince any other that one believes certain things. Sure, there's something to be said about good, honest communication. Sure, there's something to be said about expression and freedom and opening of ideas. And there's even someting to be said about patriotism.

But I honestly have no viewpoints whatsoever on the topic.

Quest : welcome to mind control. I have, using simple text on a photon-emitting screen, controlled your emotions and ideas, and even your very fingers. By playing off of your ego and desire to express yourself, and by using a few key words that sparked your sense of independence, ego, and your inner desire to make change, I am able to direct your into stating more than elloquently exactly my views on these topics. Thank you, and you're welcome my friend! Hell, I even agree with your opinions of ME!

Now, (anyone, including but not directed AT Quest this time, for the sake of reference), tell me how farfetched or "futuristic", or "science-fictional" mind control is?

And again...

I am not to be taken seriously under any circumstances. Laugh with me, everyone. Our real enemies aren't each other, they aren't nations, they aren't people, governments, aliens, dragons, or cyborgs. Not even lasers.

The only thing keeping any of us from bettering ourselves is ourselves.
