I am always attempting to get people to think. But I stop short of
planting smartdrugs in the water supply.

Forgive me, Richard, but that sounds unrealistically arrogant.
(perhaps another "acceptible self-deceit?")
I agree with Tad, if this is so dangerous it must be kept secret,
why bring it up in the first place? It isn't like you couldn't
have ignored or sidestepped the issue. You wanted the issue
raised and didn't want it raised at the same time.
Is that a good way to live? Are you letting those nasty memes
out again, propogating them despite your personal misgivings?
Perhaps you should reflect on your own soul a little and see
exactly how in control of things "you" are.
