No good will come of this. Soon the government will insist it needs to monitor your thoughts. For security. For the children. For the good of us all.

That's a wonderful idea and goal, no sarcasm intended at all, but the problem is that one of the internet's unpredictable side effects is the shutting down of the brain. All one needs to do is either read the comments section of any news site or the actual contents of most political ones and you'll see that in action. :-S

Connect 3/4ths of the brains on the internet and all you'll get is a sine wave. :(

Please use the comments forum to respond to the post. Don't fight with each other. Be substantive... or interesting... or funny. Comments should go up immediately... unless you're commenting on a post older than 2 days. Then you have to wait for us to moderate you through. It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith.
