I've nothing to say, except to tell
a story that's a little-bit funny.
I was at a mall in West Hartford,
Connecticut - on one of my need-
to-be-with-people-in-the-midst-of-
the-storm outings.
There was a hypnotist there that
day - putting on a show.
I was curious so I got right up there
- standing in the first row.
He selected some subjects from
the audience, and when he selected
me, I told him that he'd not be able to
'hypnotize' me.
He persisted [and persisted], so I re-
lented.
He did his stuff on the group, only
to grow 'angry' with me when he
couldn't 'hypnotize' me.
He sent me, unceremoniously, off
the stage :-]
It's all I know about 'hypnotism'.
I Know a lot about Free Will, though :-]
Cheers, Peter, ken
