I encourage them to read my mind, they're going to be confused and maybe even shocked at what they hear.

I understand they tried to read your mind once, the result was the Blackout of the North East power grid that occurred in 2003 Talk about overload

That was for the benefit of society, wasn't it nice to see New Yorkers having to WALK and sweating like pigs in that heat?!

Besides, weren't we able to eventually blame that mishap on Canada anyway?

Hmmm.

The outage cascade started in Ohio when a tree branch shorted out a main line and the operators failed to catch it in time.

**** it! Now I have to redesign me helmet. Maybe some MASTINOX hair gel will do the trick. Or stick my head in a microwave, they block signals.

Negative.. Once the cascade started it ripped from Ohio, up into Michigan, through Ontario and into NY in less than 30 seconds. There was nothing Hydro One could do once it hit the border (I was working there when it happened).

It's not the government problem at all - - it is all Bush's fault. Everything bad is his fault. He lays in bed at night planning how to mess up every citizen.

I loved his speech yesterday - - certain people are trying to re-write history. What a great reply to the stupid spinners. How on earth can Ted Kennedy keep getting re-elected? That amazes me.

Golden mylar is the answer with two flat ribbon cables one bonded (not soldered) to a governmentium mesh belt the other also bonded to a XP3 space modulator. I have just applied for the patent. The positive results have been verified by an independent lab. I have the prototype and 3 samples, all fully functioning, for sale if anyone wants one.
