Way Sleepers

[Ham]

Maybe that is the best term, sleepers. Programmed to do *something* when they awake..

Stand for "the Word"..

"take on" the denizens of Hell..

they awake in what they consider a foreign culture.. pick up whatever weapon of mass destruction (in this case, usually it is the Tongue).. and then, do whatever it is..

and then, generally speaking, they are not corps participants or such..

Was the impression from the old foundational class this powerful? I dunno.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too. Maybe it's a sense of "If only I had.....".

Personally, I think they should replace that with "I'm glad I never....".

It seems that anyone who never evaluated what was wrong with twi and what is right by

contrast other places is like a "sleeper agent" in that decades later they can lash

out and defend things they never examined but were taught and just swallowed.

As we rapidly approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I find myself thinking about how history (real, honest history) "ain't pretty". Unless, of course, we rewrite it and edit it it to serve our purpose.

"Stand", says VP in session #7. "Just don't budge. Don't let anyone talk you out of it."

(somewhat paraphrased)

So, that's what some people do. Others, conversely, have looked the demon in the eye and scoff at the notion.

Ham made an interesting observation on an older thread when he stated that "food that's been poisoned is still food.". Sure, there's still some vitamin and mineral value... if you can just find a way to get past that pesky arsenic. :o
